Vitinha was logically elected man of the match following his performance against Borussia Dortmund. The Portuguese midfielder lit up the Parisian midfield and reminded us that he could become a key man in Luis Enrique’s system. Far from the ordinary season achieved in 2022-2023, after a promising start.
But if Vitinha has gradually returned to the ranks, it is also because of fresh relationships with the two stars of the team, Neymar and Messi. The Team gives us a tasty anecdote, telling us that between Vitinha and Messi, the understanding was not cordial. With the example of a sequence during training at the start of 2023, during which Messi launched to Vitinha: “not only are you weak, but you’re hurting me”. A new light on the deleterious atmosphere which reigned within the Parisian group last season.
