PSG midfielder Vitinha was the standout performer in the team’s 1-0 win over Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal. The Portuguese international praises his teammates for their impressive display, saying they adapted well to different game circumstances. They controlled the ball, defended solidly, and attacked effectively.
Team Effort
The PSG goal was a perfect example of the team’s strength, with 26 passes leading up to Dembelé’s finish. “It shows our dynamics and collective strength,” Vitinha explains. He emphasizes that the win was a team effort, not just the work of individual players like goalkeeper Donnarumma, who had a standout game.
- The team had majority possession
- Solid defense
- Effective attack
Vitinha acknowledges that Donnarumma was excellent, but credits the entire team for the win. “He made a great game, but the team was key. We could have scored more, but we’re happy with the 1-0 result.”
The midfielder stresses that the team’s work is far from over, as they prepare for the second leg in Paris. “We need to play a strong game in Paris too,” he says. PSG will do everything possible to reach the final.
