Vitinha has emerged as a midfield maestro on the world stage. The Paris Saint-Germain star delivered a commanding performance in PSG’s 4–0 demolition of Real Madrid in the Club World Cup semifinal, catching the attention of football legends and fans alike.

The 24-year-old Portuguese international was the engine behind Luis Enrique’s dominant side on Wednesday, setting the tempo and orchestrating plays with remarkable composure and vision.

Bale & Obi Mikel Hail Vitinha’s Class

Former Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale and Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel were among the experts analyzing the match on DAZN, and both were glowing in their assessments of Vitinha.

“He’s constantly on the move,” said Bale. “Always very energetic, those quick little steps. Just one or two touches and he releases the ball he keeps PSG in control.”

Obi Mikel, who knows a thing or two about world-class midfielders, praised Vitinha’s effortless command of the game:

“He seems to have all the time in the world when he’s on the ball. That’s a trait only great players have.”

Midfield Trio Shining for PSG

While Vitinha stole the spotlight, his chemistry with João Neves and Fabián Ruiz did not go unnoticed. Obi Mikel noted how the midfield triangle has become PSG’s core strength:

“When they’re on the same page, PSG becomes almost unstoppable.”

Together, the trio provided balance, creativity, and defensive solidity giving PSG total control against a Real Madrid side that never found its rhythm.
