A unique victory for PSG, the one they sealed against Nantes, would arrive with extremely important news, a surprise for many, and it was the performance of Vitinha being captain of the team for the first time.

After having played a total of 155 matches with Paris Saint-Germain, the Portuguese would sign his first match of the 25/26 season as captain of PSG, and this would be a milestone for the player, as he would become the eighth player to wear the captain’s armband in the Luis Enrique era.

Players like Marquinhos, Hakimi, Mbappe, Fabian Ruiz have worn it before, and now it was Vitinha’s turn, the brain of PSG.

In a special match because of this moment, it was an important recognition that he is a leader not only on the field but also off it.

In the 0-1 victory against Nantes, he was the great figure of the match, controlling the rhythm of the game in PSG’s midfield and scoring the winning goal in a difficult match for the Parisians, due to Nantes’ strong defense and being a problem that the Portuguese solved with a shot from outside the box that luckily went in.

But his match was brilliant, he played the full 90 minutes, achieving 132 passes and completing 96% accuracy of his 121 attempted passes, being a constant player as the playmaker.

More and more, Vitinha grows inside the pitch, giving PSG the great peace of mind that as long as he is on the field, the team are going to have a leader controlling the rhythm of the match and being a partner to everyone.

What is most surprising is that many already place Vitinha as a great candidate to win the Ballon d’Or, just like Rodri last season won the Ballon d’Or, the Portuguese with his great game and multiple trophies can enter the fight for it.

He is entering an internal battle with Ousmane Dembele, the other great candidate, and many assure that the Ballon d’Or will not leave these two players.

This speaks of PSG marking a historic, unique season and being one of the best teams in the history of football because the achievement they made is unique, and they are great candidates to win the sextuple, since they only need the Club World Cup to obtain this achievement, which will be played in December.

Vitinha is that great figure who does not stop surprising and without a doubt his great sporting growth has led PSG to a historic season, in a perfect collective managed by Luis Enrique.
