Playing Style
Vitinha is a defensive midfielder: ball control, work rate and playmaking from a deep-lying, tempo-setting role at the base of the possession phase.
He often drops close to his centre-backs to receive the ball early in the build-up, sometimes taking it directly off their feet before turning and progressing play, with a priority on forward momentum through short combinations or longer progressive passes. He has the tactical flexibility to drift wider or push higher under Luis Enrique inside PSG's system.

World Cup History
Vitinha has played at one previous senior World Cup. He received his first senior call-up on 21 March 2022 as a replacement for the injured Rúben Neves and made his debut eight days later, coming on as a substitute for João Moutinho in added time in a 2-0 win over North Macedonia that booked Portugal's place at the tournament.
He was included in the final 26 for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar; he started only the 2-1 loss to South Korea in the last group-stage match and appeared off the bench twice in the knockout phase before Portugal's quarter-final exit.
