In the 5th round of the UEFA Champions League, the reigning champions, Paris Saint-Germain, defeated London's Tottenham Hotspur 5-3 at home. The match was very goal-rich and spectacular, but the hero of the game was unanimously named Vitinha - he scored three goals against the opponent, demonstrating a real master class.
PSG head coach Luis Enrique, in a post-match interview, specifically highlighted Vitinha's performance, even stating that he considers him the main contender for the upcoming Ballon d'Or.
"Vitinya has once again demonstrated his unparalleled skill. He becomes the team's driving force in every game, controlling the rhythm of the game. Seeing him play at such a level is not new to anyone. I sincerely want him to win the next Ballon d'Or," Enrique said.
The young Portuguese midfielder is playing at a very high tempo this season:
- 25 games
- 6 goals
- 10 assists
Such statistics show how important Vitinha has become for PSG. He not only initiates the attack, but also becomes the center of mind and action of the team in every episode.
The Parisians continue their performance in the competition in high spirits, while Vitinha is impressing all Champions League fans with his growth trajectory. Now, as the coach said, it wouldn't be surprising to hear his name around the Ballon d'Or.
