After a tense Champions League match between PSG and Barcelona, which ended with a 2-1 victory for the French club, media attention turned to the comments made by players from both teams. At the center of the discussion was Vitinha, a key midfielder for the Parisians, who shared his views with French journalists.
Before the match, Lamine Yamal posted excerpts from the film ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ on social media, hinting at his return and readiness to fight. In these posts, he emphasized the pressure and the need to showcase talent in a short amount of time. In addition, Yamal stated he was returning to fulfill an important task.
Pedri, Barcelona’s midfielder, expressed confidence in his team’s superiority over PSG in his statements. He mentioned that he considers his club the best, despite recognizing the high level of their opponent, who had already proven their strength last season.
Responding to questions about such remarks, Vitinha emphasized that these statements before matches mean nothing to him. According to him, the team is focused solely on the game and the result, not on the words of their opponents. He noted that for PSG, the most important thing was the victory they achieved on the field.
Forward Gonçalo Ramos also joined the discussion, noting that the status of the strongest team must be proven on the pitch, not with words. In his view, only the result of the match can truly reflect a team’s level. Ramos also added that after last year’s success, PSG now faces increased attention and motivation from their opponents, making every match more difficult.
Thus, following their victory in Barcelona, PSG players chose not to react to their opponents’ public statements, instead focusing on their own achievements and teamwork. The outcome of the match once again proved that results are decided on the field, not in social networks or interviews.
