This is very Xavi-esque, also the aspect which Vitinha edges over Pedri now.

He has clearly been better than Pedri in 2025 and it is not even close.
Been better than any other midfielder and feels forced to make out it is him and Pedri competing for No1.

It's exactly the opposite IMO:
The quick 1-2s, pass and move combinations are more instructed patterns. Lucho has instructed the shit out of his player in positional rotations and pass/move combinations to create space, and the result is wonderful.
No doubt Pedri can also do that if he was instructed/trained so
On the contrary, Vitinha doesn't have the vision for those killer balls.
That's something that can't be learned, and comes up instinctively in a game.
If he hasn't done so until now, most probably is because he can't

Fair enough.
Personally I don't think either of the two are specialists at killer passes or final balls.
Both move the ball well and retain it brilliantly. Both have good vision but not all timer vision like KDB, Ozil or Xavi.

Vitinha is absolutely terific at splitting defenses with his passes, he did it numerous times for Portugal.
I think he has the potential to get on Ozil/Kdb level

especially these teams park the bus and its difficult to find space.....
but he did it also vs big teams 😬
Exactly. Vitinha has the system and is given freedom to play. Though he is more dynamic than Pedri when it comes to play 1-2.
