Vitinha, the PSG midfielder, shared his personal ranking of the best midfielders in an interview with Portugal’s Canal 11. He did not hesitate to place Pedri González at number one, describing him as “magical” and “spectacular” to watch.
Vitinha expanded his list from a top three to a top four, including Pedri, himself, and fellow Portuguese midfielders Joao Neves and Bruno Fernandes. He explained the difficulty of choosing only three players, hence selecting four to properly acknowledge their levels.
He was modest about his own status and declined to call himself the best midfielder in the world, citing that such a claim would be arrogant. Vitinha stressed that opinions on the best depend on time sustaining top-level performance and the titles won.
This viewpoint reflects Vitinha’s respect for his peers’ careers and achievements while emphasizing his admiration for Pedri’s talent. It underscores Pedri’s high standing in world football and Vitinha’s balanced approach to recognizing greatness in the sport.
