Vitinha hasn't been fit to play every game this season... and when he has been fit, he's been joined in PSG's midfield by a rotating cast due to injury...
And yet, this weekend he became the 1st player in Europe's Top 5 Leagues to complete 1,000 passes this season, and is currently 172 ahead of 2nd place Maxime Lopez.
These aren't just safe passes either...
🇵🇹No player has got the ball into the final 3rd more
🇵🇹His 14 chances creates is 1 more than Yamal
🇵🇹His long range passing is absolutely phenomenal... including goalkeepers only 5 players in Europe can top his 113 long passes completed
🇵🇹And he completes 83% of long passes attempted... of players to complete at least 90, only Modric (73% comes close)
If Vitinha and Joao Neves are fully fit, Portugal will be a huge threat at next summer's World Cup!
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are in direct talks for Presnel Kimpembé deal. Initial request around €60/65m but Chelsea are prepared to submit €45/50m proposal. Work in progress. 🔵 #CFC
PSG consider Kimpembé part of the project - but he can leave in case of good proposal.
This attitude problem with Mbappe has gone to far. All top players have big egos, Neymar is not innocent himself. Mbappe is our most important player and he is the one to help us to success.
Eden Hazard: “I was watching PSG for Verratti. No matter how he lived, no matter how many cards he picked, he couldn't change. He's a bit like me. He dribbles in his area, maybe he loses the ball and scores behind. "Yeah Verratti..." He doesn't care, he'll do it again. Hats off to the artist. You made me love it.”

Would Mbappe even be able to score 20 goals in La Liga? What’s he going to do against a Getafe low block when he’s surrounded by 3 players and can’t use his pace?

I’ll never forget the damage injuries have done to our game🥲
