While speaking to “Rothen s’enflamme” on RMC Sport, former PSG goal-scorer Pedro Miguel Pauleta had high praise for Vitinha. Additionally, he believes that his compatriot and Pedri are the best players in the midfield right now and compares them to a former Barcelona player.

“Is he the best midfielder in the world? Yes, I think so,” Pauleta said (h/t Le10Sport). “He and Pedri from Barcelona are two players with incredible quality. They remind me of Iniesta.

“He doesn’t lose the ball; he’s always well-positioned. He can do everything with the ball. He doesn’t make mistakes and doesn’t miss passes. He feels the confidence of his team, his coach, and his club, and that’s important for him. He’s a phenomenon.”

Moreover, manager Luis Enrique had a lot of praise for the player after his performance against the German club.

“This is not the time to talk about just one player, but Vitinha is incredible,” Enrique said (h/t RMC Sport). “He constantly controls everything we need to do. He’s an amazing player. Many criticized me when I play him as No. 6, but he can play anywhere.

“[On Tuesday], however, we need to talk about the whole team. We have to keep playing this way, very attractive for the fans. We have to continue. It’s hard to see a team that wants to win everything. We are still aiming to win everything this season. We have the confidence from last year.”
