PSG star Vitinha full of praise for Bayern, warns about Harry Kane | OneFootball

Before the Champions League clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, PSG star Vitinha spoke at the press conference about the duel of the giants—and had some words of praise for the German record champions.

When asked whether Bayern are currently the best team in Europe, the Portuguese player responded evasively but with respect: “We’ll know the answer to that tomorrow. It’s better to speak on the pitch, not here. I agree with you—right now, we have the two best teams in Europe. Bayern are in great form, just like us. We are delivering very good performances.”

“These are the games you play football for”

Vitinha expects a duel at the highest level: “For me, the two best teams in Europe are facing each other. As a player, you wish for games like this—everyone is watching and saying: ‘The winner is the best.’ We’re excited, we want to be part of it and put in a good performance.”

With three wins from the first three group stage matches, PSG—just like Bayern—currently boasts a perfect record in the Champions League. “We have nine points, but we also want the fourth win. It’s going to be very tough,” emphasized the 25-year-old.

Praise for Kane and the Bayern collective

Vitinha has particular respect for Harry Kane: “He’s one of the best players in the world, an incredible striker. His numbers are unbelievable, and even this season he’s started with insane statistics.”

But the PSG professional didn’t just single out the English goal scorer, he also highlighted the unity of the Munich team: “Bayern have many great players like Kane, but they also play as a strong collective—that’s the biggest challenge.”

On Tuesday evening (9pm, live on Prime Video), two teams will meet at the Parc des Princes in Paris who are currently considered the benchmark in European club football. Vitinha sums it up: “Whoever wins tomorrow is the best.”
