Vitinha, Paris Saint-Germain’s 25-year-old midfielder, spoke to DAZN after the 3-1 victory over Auxerre (PSG/Auxerre video highlights) on Saturday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 34th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025. He talked about the penalties, Khvicha Kvaratkshelia (24-year-old striker) and the final matches of the season.
Vitinha: “It’s up to the coach”.
What did Luis Enrique just say to you?
We talked about the penalty (laughs), last time I missed, Ramos was top of the list.
So next time you’ll take it?
I don’t know about that. It’s up to him, maybe Ousmane, it’s the coach who decides.
Vitinha “we give him the ball and he does the rest.”
Was it important to finish well?
Yes, it was important to finish well. We wanted to have a good game and keep the momentum going, and this is the best way to prepare for the two games coming up. We’re happy with the game and the win.
How does it feel to play with a player like Kvaratskhelia, a player capable of making such a difference?
We give him the ball and he does the rest. Players like him, Ousmane, Bradley, Désiré… It’s important to play well because the games ahead are going to be important, but we’re ready.
Vitinha “We can’t wait for May 31, but we also have the Coupe de France.”
Is the Champions League final all you think about too?
Yes, it’s my first Champions League final, but it’s the same for almost everyone else. We can’t wait to play this match. We’re looking forward to May 31, but we’ve also got the Coupe de France and we need to concentrate on that.
First of all, we’re going to concentrate on celebrating, because it’s not easy to win this championship. Even if people say it’s easy, I swear it’s not easy. We’re going to celebrate and then concentrate on the Coupe de France.
I’ve always heard about the great atmosphere at the Stade de France, but I’ve never played there myself. I’m hoping for a great party and the Cup, and we’re going to do everything we can to win it.
