Vitinha, 25, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, took advantage of media day to reaffirm, in the mixed zone, the club’s main objective: to retain its European crown. In a very direct interview, the Portuguese player explained that PSG is clearly aiming for a back-to-back Champions League title, despite the ups and downs of the season.
Vitinha: “It’s not a question of desire, it’s sometimes a question of luck, of performing well.”
“Of course, who doesn’t want to win the Champions League? We all want to win it again, a back-to-back would be even more incredible. Last year, we also wanted to win it, but we didn’t get off to a good start in terms of results… It’s not a question of desire, it’s sometimes a question of luck, of performing well… But we’re going to do everything we can, both in the league and in the Champions League. We know there will be ups and downs, but we’re going to do everything we can to stay at the top.” “
Vitinha didn’t try to sugarcoat anything: Paris Saint-Germain has a lot riding on this season. After finally conquering the Champions League, the idea of a back-to-back is no longer a fantasy, but a stated objective. The Portuguese manager knows, however, that the road ahead won’t be easy. He reminded everyone that last year’s success wasn’t just about desire, but also about momentum, timing, and efficiency in key moments.
Aware that PSG will be entering a tricky end to the season, where everyone will be looking to dethrone the European champions, Vitinha emphasizes consistency: performing well in Ligue 1, maintaining momentum, and weathering the ups and downs without losing ambition. His calm yet determined words show that in Paris, no one intends to be satisfied with just one European title. In fact, their appetite has been whetted.”
