PSG/Flamengo – Vitinha weighs up the value of a unique trophy

Wednesday, during the 2025 Intercontinental Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain will face Flamengo at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Doha (Qatar) (kick-off at 6pm, broadcast on M6 and beIN SPORTS). On the eve of this match, Parisian midfielder Vitinha (25 years old) answered several questions in the mixed zone.

Vitinha: “Winning this trophy would be a first for PSG”

“Winning this trophy would be a first for PSG and for French clubs. A final means everything. It’s an incredible opportunity to be here. You never know if you’ll play another final, it’s very hard to get here, you have to win something very important. You have to make the most of the opportunities to get here. Because you never know if you’ll find yourself in the same situation again.”

At 25, Vitinha doesn’t speak like a jaded player, but like someone who understood very early the harshness of the highest level. This Intercontinental Cup final, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder knows, is not an annual event disguised as an exhibition. To be in Doha, they had to win the Champions League, and that reality changes everything.

Behind his words, Vitinha reminds us of an obvious truth that modern football sometimes makes us forget: a final can’t be scheduled, it has to be earned. Nothing guarantees that PSG will quickly find this kind of opportunity again, as the path is narrow and full of obstacles. This lucidity gives even more weight to the event. This trophy would be a first for the club, but above all, the symbol of a PSG capable of turning a rare opportunity into a historic victory.
