Kvaratskhelia named Champions League player of the season

Paris Saint‑Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been named Champions League player of the season after a brilliant campaign that delivered ten goals and six assists across sixteen matches. The Georgian was central to PSG’s successful title defence, including winning the penalty that sparked their comeback against Arsenal in the final before the French champions prevailed 4‑3 on penalties.

UEFA’s thirty‑member technical observer panel, featuring figures such as Gareth Southgate, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rafa Benitez, praised his decisive influence, highlighting his stunning double in the unforgettable 5‑4 semi‑final first leg against Bayern Munich. Kvaratskhelia also struck three times against Chelsea in the last sixteen and added another goal at Liverpool in the quarter‑finals.

Now twenty‑five, he continues to build on his growing legacy after scoring in last year’s final win over Inter Milan. His latest accolade confirms his status as one of Europe’s most electrifying and impactful attacking talents.
