PSG: Former Real Madrid star full of praise for Vitinha

Scorer of a hat-trick against Tottenham (5-3) this Wednesday in the Champions League, Vitinha, the 25-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, once again dazzled all of Europe. Speaking to L’Equipe, Sami Khedira, 38, former midfielder for Real Madrid (2010-2015) and Juventus Turin (2015-2020), who has 77 caps with Germany, shared his thoughts on the Portuguese midfielder.

Khedira: “What I especially like about him is the confidence he exudes as soon as he touches the ball”

“In 2025, he reached a new level. He’s now among the very best in his position. He was fabulous throughout the knockout stage in 2024-2025 during Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League campaign, and he’s continuing this season as if there was never any break. What I especially like about him is the confidence he exudes as soon as he touches the ball, his body language with his chest out, and his truly phenomenal vision of the game. In almost every match, he manages to make full use of all his qualities. His precision and power when shooting are spectacular. In fact, it’s quite rare for his attempts not to be on target. He is the metronome of this Parisian side, the regulator of the game, and he is complete. I honestly don’t see any flaws in him. What’s more, he complements Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz very well, and together they form a world-class midfield. In duels, he’s incisive, he never admits defeat, and he gives off the impression that he loves going into battle and fighting to win back the ball.”

In recent seasons, Vitinha has established himself as the conductor of this Parisian midfield. His talent clearly allows him to take control of the game and distribute play. He can slow things down, speed them up, and also escape intense pressing by breaking the lines. Overall, he has become the indispensable player for this Parisian team.

For several months now, he has also been working on his accuracy in front of goal. Scoring a hat-trick against Tottenham, Vitinha showed his full range, making him a truly formidable player. Given his age, his room for improvement is also significant, which gives him several years ahead as the maestro of the midfield.
