Madrid, Spain — Real Madrid icon Luka Modric has singled out Paris Saint-Germain star Vitinha as the best midfielder in the world following the Portuguese player’s remarkable season for club and country.
Speaking to Nova TV, as quoted by Madrid Xtra, Modric praised Vitinha for his exceptional playmaking abilities and game intelligence, describing him as “indispensable” and a key factor in team performance.
“Vitinha is one of the best, if not the best, midfielders. The other day, when he came on at halftime, he once again made a big difference,” Modric said. “He had a phenomenal season. He helps the team play better — he’s a game organizer, excellent on the ball, and I really like him.”
Vitinha’s standout campaign included a treble-winning season with PSG, lifting the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1 title, and the French Cup. He capped off the year with international success, helping Portugal clinch the UEFA Nations League title with a dramatic 5-3 penalty shootout win over Spain after a 2-2 draw in the final in Munich.
At just 25, Vitinha’s rising influence at both club and international levels is earning admiration from some of football’s greatest, with Modric’s endorsement further cementing his status among the game’s elite midfielders.
