Vitinha names Pedri, João Neves and Bruno Fernandes in his top four | OneFootball

Without claiming to be the best midfielder in the world, Vitinha says he is satisfied to be among the “elite” of the position. The 26-year-old midfielder – formerly of FC Porto – is an undisputed starter in PSG’s lineup and has recorded six goals and 10 assists in 37 games, marking his best season in terms of statistics.

With the Parisian club – where he has already won three league titles, two Cups, four Super Cups, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Intercontinental Cup – Vitinha has tallied 25 goals and 34 assists in 190 matches.

“At this moment, I consider myself one of the best midfielders in the world. I don’t like to say that I’m the best, it always seems arrogant to me. It’s just an opinion. I don’t feel comfortable saying I’m the best, but I know I’m in that group. In a top three, I would put Pedri, because he really is magical. It’s spectacular to watch him play, and when I played against him, I was able to see that up close.”

“Then, I’d include João Neves and Bruno Fernandes along with me and Pedri. I’ll make it a top four. And we can play with four, we can play in a diamond. It’s not a bad midfield,” he told Canal 11.

From this group, Bruno Fernandes stands out with seven goals and 15 assists in 28 games for Manchester United, while João Neves has six goals and two assists in 24 matches for PSG. Finally, Pedri has two goals and nine assists in 28 appearances for Barcelona.
