In difficulty at PSG, Vitinha took the keys to the midfielder in the Portugal selection

It seems a long time ago when Vitinha had to be content with scraps of matches in the Portuguese jersey, barred by plenty of competition in the middle (Joao Palhinha, Joao Neves, Bruno Fernandes). Since the Euro, the native of Vila das Aves has gained a place as captain in the Portuguese midfield, despite a disappointing start to the 2024-2025 financial year at PSG. A reversed situation compared to last season, where the pocket midfielder (1.72 m) was sparkling at club without benefiting from a starting status in the selection.
