On Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Tottenham 5-3 in Matchday 5 of the 2025-2026 Champions League. As we now do after every match, we asked our readers to vote for the best PSG player of the game. Vitinha (25-year-old midfielder) won.
It was a deserved victory, with Vitinha scoring a hat-trick, including two magnificent goals. There was a mistake on the third goal conceded, but it would be unfair to focus on that. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t receive all the votes (which has never happened before).
There were also some excellent teammates, including Fabian Ruiz, the 29-year-old midfielder who also scored, rewarding his hard work in midfield. It’s more surprising to find Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24-year-old striker), who wasn’t particularly outstanding, on the podium. We might have expected Willian Pacho (24-year-old defender), who scored and wasn’t really at fault for the goals conceded.
Thank you for your votes. As a reminder, the podium finishers from each match are then used to determine the Player of the Month.
