Moments after lifting the coveted trophy alongside his teammates, Vitinha was honored as the final’s standout performer. His complete display, particularly in orchestrating the play, earned him this prestigious recognition. The 24-year-old controlled the tempo with 162 touches—an unmatched record—and completed 141 of his 150 passes.

UEFA’s technical observers praised his dominance: «Vitinha was Paris Saint-Germain’s best player this evening. He seized control of the midfield, especially in the second half, driving his team forward and dictating the game’s rhythm. An outstanding performance.»

His only setback came in extra time (105th minute), when he limped off the pitch with a suspected left-leg injury. The Portuguese international was substituted by Lucas Beraldo, leaving fans concerned about his condition for upcoming fixtures.
