An electric night at the Parc des Princes: Vitinha on fire and dragging PSG back to life
Last night, Paris Saint‑Germain—carried by a superhero Vitinha—gave their fans a mad one. Against Tottenham, the capital’s side won 5-3 in the UEFA Champions League group stage — a result that shakes things up, reignites hope and polishes a battered Paris badge. Amid goals, flurries and defensive errors, one name stood out: Vitinha.
HAT TRICK FOR VITINHA

Vitinha, the explosive maestro at the heart of the chaos
Some games you expect. Others you remember. In the 45th minute Vitinha levels with a cannon from distance — the Parc erupts. Minutes later Tottenham retake the lead, but the Portuguese won’t let doubt settle. In the 53rd he drags it back again. Soul of a PSG hunting for meaning.
The early second half matched the madness. Spurs pushed on, then trembled under a Paris hurricane. In the 59th Fabián Ruiz finds the gap. In the 65th Willian Pacho adds a fourth. But Vitinha still held the script. In the 76th, penalty — he buries it. Hat-trick. Triumph. Not just in form. In a trance.
Tottenham didn’t disgrace themselves, but they got pushed about
The Spurs deserved better than a bit-part. They came with a plan, with hunger, tactical tweaks, sharper, more vertical pressing. It paid off at times. Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani, a former PSG player, struck twice, giving Tottenham the lead on two occasions.
But in a game like that, winners are the ones who dare, who force it, who hit back and restart the engine. Paris had that extra spark.
The Parc erupts, PSG back on track, Vitinha shines
When the final whistle blew, 5-3 sounded like a warning across Europe. Tonight PSG didn’t just win; they proved they could be reborn, that hope is still alive. Thanks to an incandescent Vitinha. Thanks to a collective that can trade blows.
Missing leaders, recent criticism, the doubts — all swept away. In matches like this, passion, inner fire, instinct make the difference. Paris had it, to the last minute. Vitinha didn’t just grab a hat-trick. He rekindled a flame. Tonight everyone at the Parc — and beyond — believed.
And now?
The road to the last 16 makes sense again for Paris. More importantly, this match is a return to life, a return to the fight — the image of a midfielder who can set crowds alight. Tottenham must learn. PSG must press on. And Vitinha must keep proving he’s grown and can explode.
