Globe Soccer Awards – Vitinha insists: team spirit comes before ego

At 25, Vitinha, midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, was named the best midfielder of the year 2025 at the Globe Soccer Awards. A prestigious distinction that rewards a season of rare consistency, marked by his central role at PSG and in the Portuguese national team. He expressed his joy while not forgetting to thank everyone for this fantastic year.

Vitinha "The best way to get here is to play for the team"

"It's a pleasure to be here, to be rewarded with this prize, it means a lot to me. Thanks to everyone at PSG, the president, the coach, my teammates, they were very important for this, also in the national team. To my agent Jorge Mendes and most importantly... to my family. It's an honor to win this award and I thank everyone. The best way to get here is to play for the team, when you do that, individualities naturally emerge, that's what I try to do, for the club. And then it happens.", remarks relayed by Paris SG Infos.

This trophy is no coincidence. It crowns a trajectory patiently built, almost contrary to the spotlight-driven football. In Paris, Vitinha never sought to shine alone: he aimed to make others play. And it is precisely this collective logic that propelled him to the top. At Paris Saint-Germain, the Portuguese has become the invisible axis around which everything revolves: tempo, ball distribution, emotional management of highs and lows.

By recalling that "individualities appear when you play for the team", Vitinha sums up a philosophy that perfectly matches his development. Global recognition, yes. But above all, validation of an intelligent, demanding, and sustainable football. The kind of player who wins much more than matches: time, control, and titles.
