UEFA has officially announced the main hero of the final showdown in Budapest.
Details: The award for best player of the match between PSG and Arsenal went to the Parisians’ Portuguese midfielder Vitinha. The 26-year-old playmaker delivered a phenomenal performance at the Puskás Aréna, becoming the true engine and tactical heart of Luis Enrique’s team.
Vitinha completely dictated the tempo in midfield. His flawless ball control, progressive passing, and composure in the most critical moments of extra time helped PSG turn the tide of a grueling contest.
Interestingly, the award was presented to him by famous basketball player Giánnis Antetokoúnmpo.
It’s worth noting that the match itself ended in a dramatic penalty shootout triumph.
Reminder: Arsenal’s leader responded to criticism about the team being pinned back too much.
