Here is what the data says about Portugal&#8217;s midfield engine. For the bigger picture, see our <a href=\"\/us\/world-cup-2026\/\">World Cup 2026<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n<h2>Vitinha stats: club and country by the numbers<\/h2>\n<p>From the Porto academy to the heart of PSG&#8217;s midfield, with a loan spell at Wolves along the way, Vitinha has become one of Europe&#8217;s most complete midfielders. His record in our database reads:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Team<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center\">Apps<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center\">Goals<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center\">Assists<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: center\">Chances created<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Porto<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">11<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">34<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>PSG<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">191<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">27<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">22<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">212<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Portugal<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">12<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>What the numbers say<\/h2>\n<p>Vitinha&#8217;s value is in his control and progression. He has played 1,667 passes into the final third and 464 into the penalty area for PSG, the engine that turns defense into attack, and he has created 212 chances along the way. He is no passenger in front of goal either: 27 of his goals have come for PSG, 13 of them from outside the box, and his 22 assists outstripped an expected-assists figure of 13.6.<\/p>\n<h2>A modern deep-lying playmaker<\/h2>\n<p>Few midfielders combine tempo-setting with end product the way Vitinha does. Across more than 14,000 PSG minutes he has been the side&#8217;s heartbeat, dictating games from deep while chipping in with long-range goals and clever assists. It is the complete midfield game, and it makes him indispensable to club and country.<\/p>\n<h2>Vitinha at the World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n<p>For Portugal, Vitinha is the metronome who lets the attackers shine, setting the tempo and controlling possession in midfield.
