In a PSG already glowing with major awards — Dembélé crowned Ballon d’Or, Hakimi named African Player of the Year, and Kang-in Lee voted Best Asian Player, a new star is crashing onto the scene with authority: Vitinha.
Who would’ve believed it three years ago? Back then, Vitinha was mocked, overshadowed by Neymar, and even considered walking away from PSG. But on Wednesday night, during the spectacular 5–3 win over Tottenham in the Champions League, the Portuguese midfielder completely stole the show. Scoring the first hat-trick of his career, he lit up the match so brightly that Spurs coach Thomas Frank could barely believe what he’d witnessed.
In blistering form, Vitinha continues to string together elite performances. Already involved in 13 goals before this game, he carried PSG through a tricky encounter marked by two Tottenham equalizers. Intelligence, technique, timing, his hat-trick confirmed that he has become one of the most complete and dominant midfielders in Europe.
Vitinha for the Ballon d’Or, it’s already in the bag
Thomas Frank, stunned, didn’t hold back after the final whistle: “Vitinha finished third in the Ballon d’Or. Wow, really wow. He’s the best midfielder in the world. He will be the next Ballon d’Or.” Strong words, especially coming from the losing manager.
Now essential to PSG’s 2025 project, Vitinha has established himself as one of Europe’s great playmakers. His influence in big games and his growing statistical impact push him closer to the elite every week.
And an unexpected showdown is already looming: Vitinha vs Mbappé for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Could the French superstar once again be beaten… by another PSG player? A fiery scenario, with the Champions League and the World Cup set to decide this explosive duel.
