Moments after lifting the iconic Champions League trophy alongside his teammates, Vitinha was presented with the individual accolade. The midfielder delivered a masterclass performance, controlling the tempo of the game with 162 touches of the ball—a tournament record—and completing 141 of his 150 passes.

«Vitinha was Paris Saint-Germain’s standout performer this evening. He dictated play from midfield, especially in the second half, driving his team forward with precision and vision. It was an exceptional display.

The only blemish on his night came just before half-time in extra time, when he limped off the pitch clutching his left leg. The Portuguese international was replaced by Lucas Beraldo, leaving fans concerned about his condition.
