Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has expressed his admiration for midfielder Vitinha as the sole standout performer in Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League semifinal clash against Dortmund on Tuesday night.
Despite high expectations, PSG faced elimination at Parc des Princes after succumbing to Dortmund’s prowess.
Trailing by a goal from the initial leg, PSG’s aspirations of a comeback were dashed when Mats Hummels netted a crucial header in the 50th minute, doubling Dortmund’s lead following Julian Brandt’s corner.
In his analysis of PSG’s lackluster display, Wenger lamented the team’s heavy reliance on individual brilliance from star players like Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.
Instead, he commended Vitinha for his consistent delivery of quality balls throughout the match, highlighting him as the lone bright spot amidst PSG’s collective disappointment.
Speaking to beIN Sports, Wenger said, “Only Vitinha in midfield performed tonight and produced all the good balls. After that, it was down to individual actions, to Dembele and Mbappe, and that’s what happened.”
