Vitinha delivered a career-best display with his first professional hat-trick as Paris Saint-Germain overturned two deficits to beat Tottenham 5-3 in a chaotic Champions League tie, keeping the holders on course for a top-eight league-phase finish and strengthening their grip on qualification.

PSG’s 1-1 draw at Lorient intensified scrutiny on Luis Enrique’s side. Despite 70% possession and Nuno Mendes’ opener, defensive lapses allowed Igor Silva’s equaliser. The result extends PSG’s run of dropped points and underlines issues with chance creation and cohesion, leaving their title lead under threat from resurgent Monaco. Enrique criticised the team’s composure and spatial movement, citing poor final-third execution and failure to exploit Lorient’s low block. Injuries and tactical fatigue have eroded intensity. PSG will prioritise recovery rotations, direct transitions through Zaire-Emery, and sharper one-touch link play to restore momentum before November’s fixture congestion.

PSG director Luis Campos revealed Luis Enrique bluntly told Neymar “it’s good that you’re leaving” before the Brazilian’s €90m switch to Al-Hilal in 2023.

Neymar departed having won five Ligue 1 titles but failing to deliver the Champions League alongside Messi and Mbappé. Ironically, PSG lifted Europe’s biggest prize the year all three were gone, with Enrique’s merit-based approach proving vindicated through a historic clean sweep.
