PSG signs a first in the history of French football in C1

Third in the 2025 Ballon d’Or after a fantastic season, Vitinha lost eleven places this year. The Parisian midfielder finished 14th in the final ranking, ranking behind Rodri (4th), Fabian Ruiz (10th), Jude Bellingham (11th), Pau Cubarsi (12th) and his teammate Achraf Hakimi (13th). For Luis Enrique, the Portuguese international deserved better.

“No, he doesn’t impress me because I know him very well. What he brings to us is so different. It’s always a pleasure to have such a player with these technical and physical qualities. He has an incredible level. I am very happy to have a player of this level even if in the Ballon d’Or rankings, he deserves better.”
