On Saturday at the Puskás Arena in Budapest, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal in the 2025-2026 Champions League final on penalties (1-1 in regulation time, 4-3 on penalties). Following the match, UEFA named the best player of the game. It was Vitinha, the 25-year-old PSG midfielder.
Debate is always possible, especially since the victory was once again primarily a team effort. But Vitinha deserves the award, with a crucial performance in finding space against Arsenal.
