Vitinha responds to Messi

Vitinha praised Lionel Messi after PSG's 4-0 win over Inter Miami in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ early morning of June 30.

Messi and teammates were crushed by PSG. In the early morning of June 30, PSG crushed Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

Speaking after the match, Vitinha shared: "Messi? What he has done at this age surprises everyone. Messi is still the best player in the world right now."

Vitinha's comments came after he and Messi had a collision on the field. During a play, Vitinha easily dribbled past M10. The Inter Miami star lost his temper and reacted by repeatedly waving his arms at Vitinha in retaliation. Luckily for Messi, the referee did not book him for this incident.

Despite some tension, Messi and Vitinha still hugged each other to make peace at the end of the match. PSG also shared this image on media channels to calm public opinion.

In the past, L'Equipe revealed that Vitinha and Messi had a conflict on the training ground. At that time, the Argentine superstar told his junior: "Your weakness hurts us." This statement is said to have seriously affected the Portuguese midfielder's confidence.

When asked about the above conflict, Vitinha immediately denied it. He wrote on his personal page: "I don't usually comment on what happens in the press, but this time I have to say it. This is completely untrue."

Vitinha had a breakout year at PSG, playing a key role in helping the club win the treble in the 2024/25 season. On the national team, he also helped Portugal win the 2025 Nations League.
