In the early morning of June 1, Vitinha contributed to PSG's 5-0 victory over Inter Milan, thereby bringing the first Champions League title for himself and PSG. He had 1 assist, created 4 scoring opportunities for his teammates and achieved a 90% passing accuracy rate.
Throughout the 2024/25 season, Vitinha was considered a hero for PSG thanks to his technical play and impressive passing ability. However, before coming to PSG, this midfielder struggled to establish himself at Wolves in the Premier League.
In the 2020/21 season, Vitinha played for Wolves on loan from Porto. In his first try at the toughest arena in the world , Vitinha left disappointed. He played 22 matches and scored 1 goal. This young midfielder mainly played as a reserve for his two seniors Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves.
"With such senior players in the team, Vitinha is in a difficult position. He is just a young player and has to wait for his opportunity," said former Wolves midfielder Conor Coady.

Vitinha struggled to establish himself in the Premier League. |
Coach Nuno Santo has admitted in training sessions that Vitinha cannot keep up with the high intensity of the Premier League. Previously, the midfielder shone at Porto, but the Portuguese league cannot compare to the level of competition in the Premier League.
After a quick farewell to Wolves, Vitinha has developed rapidly since joining PSG. Despite being underestimated in terms of physique (only 1.72 m tall), Vitinha turned that weakness into an advantage thanks to his skillful and flexible handling, helping him escape pressing and create play for PSG.
"Vitinha is the best midfielder in the world right now. You can't take the ball from him. Vitinha can score, pass or mark. His physicality and will are very good," coach Luis Enrique admitted after the Champions League semi-final.
Vitinha is a dynamic midfielder who maintains a fast tempo, constantly pressuring opponents and helping PSG launch attacks. Together with Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz, he has formed a successful trio for Enrique at PSG.
Up until the Champions League final, Vitinha had very impressive statistics, with a 93% passing accuracy rate, an average of 6.37 forward passes per game, an average of 8 passes into the opponent's penalty area per game and 1.33 timely interventions.
PSG was right to spend more than 40 million euros to own Vitinha. At 25 years old, this midfielder has a bright future ahead.
