Vitinha has felt nothing but happiness after reflecting on the four years he has spent so far at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Portuguese midfielder moved to the French capital from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2022 and has been a lynchpin in the middle of the park.
His consistent performances have earned him 12 titles, including a treble for the first time in PSG’s history. He also came third in the 2025 Ballon d’Or rankings behind teammate Ousmane Dembele and Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
“It would be such a mistake if I hadn’t grown and improved in many aspects, and become a better person and player over the course of these four years,” Vitinha told UEFA’s website.
“If you ask me to reflect on the Vitinha from 2022 compared to now, I feel that I’ve developed on both aspects and I’m happy about that.
“I keep close to my heart the trophies I’ve won with the club, but even more important than that, is what I’ve become and what I’m still becoming, as it’s a process. I feel very happy with everything I’ve become here, at Paris Saint-Germain. I hope I keep going this way, moving forward.”
Reflecting on his role as the metronome in the PSG squad, the 26-year-old added: “It feels good. I wouldn’t say that it’s such a huge responsibility because I’m not alone. I [set the pace of the team], yes, but so do the goalkeeper, full-back, centre-back, other midfielders, forwards, and even the subs coming on during the game. I don’t feel like, should I be missing, the team won’t be able to play.
“I try to give my best every time I’m on the pitch and to improve our game. I also try to pass on confidence, to make it something infectious.”
Vitinha set for milestone
His appearance in the second leg against Bayern would be his 200th competitive appearance. He has scored 26 goals and provided 24 assists.
