“Vitinha celebrates victory and reveals: ‘It seemed easier than it was.'”

Vitinha, the talented Portuguese midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain, did not hide his joy after his team’s impressive victory over Chelsea in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, where the Parisians triumphed 3-0, consolidating an aggregate score of 8-2. In statements to DAZN, the player offered a sincere and reflective analysis of his team’s performance, emphasizing that despite the resounding result, the task was far from easy.

“It feels like it was easier than it really was,” Vitinha stated, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the effort and merit of the team in both matches. The Portuguese midfielder stressed that the result can distort the reality of the difficulties they faced: “We must give credit to those who deserve it, and we deserved it, here and in Paris. We knew what we had to implement, but knowing and doing are two different things. It wasn’t easy, but we did it spectacularly.”

Vitinha did not hesitate to praise the collective effort, referring to the “great game by the entire team,” which earned applause and congratulations from the player. With this victory, PSG advances to the quarter-finals, where they will face either Galatasaray or Liverpool, two teams that promise significant challenges.

Although the player acknowledged PSG’s positive history against English teams, he did not get carried away by excessive optimism, downplaying the strength of the upcoming opponent: “I have no preference, we will be prepared. I want to emphasize that, despite the result of the tie, it is very difficult to play against this Chelsea.” This statement underscores the focused and respectful mentality of the player, who knows that every match in the Champions League demands total dedication.

Finally, Vitinha reminded everyone of the importance of celebrating this achievement, but also of maintaining concentration, as the team will soon need to shift their focus to the national league: “We have to celebrate and enjoy because soon we will be playing for the championship and we need to change our focus to another competition. We are in the quarter-finals.”

With this resounding victory, PSG not only advances in the European competition but also demonstrates its strength and determination, with Vitinha being a key piece in the team’s machinery. The fans are buzzing, eager for what the future holds, and all eyes are now on the next challenge in the UEFA, where the ambition to win the biggest trophy continues to burn intensely.
