Vitinha’s star is on the rise. The midfielder’s incredible season with PSG, where they won Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League, and his recent triumph with the National Team in the Nations League, have made him a dark horse contender for the Ballon d’Or. Ousmane Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha are already in the running, but Vitinha’s impressive performances have caught the attention of none other than Luka Modric, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner.
Modric is a big fan of Vitinha’s skills. He told Nova TV, “I think he had a phenomenal season. He’s a player who makes his team play better.” Modric didn’t stop there, praising Vitinha’s exceptional abilities: “In my opinion, he’s one of the best, if not the best midfielder in the world. He’s excellent with the ball and has a fantastic vision of the game.”
This endorsement from a football legend like Modric could give Vitinha a boost in the Ballon d’Or race. With his talent and dedication, Vitinha is definitely a player to watch.
