Vitinha has built a reputation as PSG’s penalty specialist — calm stare, slow run-up, late placed finish. For a year, it worked flawlessly. But cracks have started to appear.
After six straight conversions, the Portuguese midfielder missed in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal last May, beaten by David Raya. Then in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham, his execution faltered again despite sending Vicario the wrong way. Two misses in three months now hang over him.
Would a third miss be enough to strip him of the role?
According to L’Équipe, Luis Enrique still trusts him — six out of eight scored remains a solid record. But with contenders like Gonçalo Ramos, Dembélé, Nuno Mendes, Kvaratskhelia, and Barcola waiting in the wings, the hierarchy could shift quickly.
Would a third miss be enough to strip him of the role? Inside the club, the idea is already being discussed. For now, Vitinha keeps the responsibility… along with the pressure.
