The 70 million euro blockbuster is worth every penny

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is making European football fans restless.

In the early morning of April 10, Kvaratskhelia continued to demonstrate his outstanding talent in PSG's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The Georgian winger, with his skillful handling and fierce fighting spirit, became the highlight of the match, bringing a classic football moment that not everyone can create.

There is a 'new Maradona' in Paris

Less than three minutes into the second half, Kvaratskhelia wowed everyone with a spectacular piece of play. Earlier, coach Unai Emery had made a tactical change by replacing Matty Cash with Axel Disasi, hoping to bolster Aston Villa's defence after a difficult first half. The score was 1-1 at the time, but PSG were in complete control.

Matty Cash, despite his determination, struggled to keep up with Kvaratskhelia’s runs. When Cash was booked for pulling an opponent’s shirt in an attempt to stop an attack, it seemed clear that he could not keep up with the Georgian’s pace. Cash was thus forced into a corner, while Kvaratskhelia, with his superb balance, was a constant threat on the left flank.

With Disasi on the pitch, Emery wanted to defend more solidly. However, on Disasi's first touch, Kvaratskhelia showed off a superb dribble. He pushed the ball out to the left wing, leaving Disasi no time to react. In just a moment, Kvaratskhelia performed a brilliant technical move - his right foot curled the ball and twisted his hip around Disasi, causing the defender to fall backwards and only had time to watch the ball as Kvaratskhelia powerfully fired a left-footed shot into the top corner, beating the Villa goalkeeper and giving PSG the lead.

The moment was not only a beautiful shot, but also a clear demonstration of Kvaratskhelia's unique style of play. He possesses excellent technical ability and a great sense of the ball, a combination of virtuosity and agility rarely seen in modern football. His every move has a classic stamp, like an old-fashioned player in modern football, always creating free-flowing, unstructured plays.

Le Monde newspaper used the word “genius” to describe Kvaratskhelia’s performance. The New York Times called what the former Napoli star created “magic”, while Yahoo Sports ran a big headline: “With Kvaratskhelia, the image of a Maradona appears again”.

Kvaratskhelia is the epitome of a player who knows how to create a unique moment.

Kvaratskhelia is the epitome of a player who knows how to create a unique moment. While many players today seem to be locked into rigid tactical systems, he maintains a freedom in his play.

Kvaratskhelia's dribbling is not a combination of modern techniques, but he creates natural, free and creative moments. He does not just run after the ball, he creates his own rules.

PSG coach Luis Enrique has allowed Kvaratskhelia to play creatively in a team that is increasingly built on possession and a strong pressing style. However, Enrique has not stifled the attacking potential of players like Kvaratskhelia or Desire Doue, but instead has created space for them to express their talents. It is a bold but confident decision, one that reflects his belief in the value of individual attacking talent in a team that is built on a solid defensive strategy.

PSG transformed

Alongside Kvaratskhelia's superb displays, PSG also got an impressive performance from other players, especially young midfielder Doue. After Aston Villa opened the scoring thanks to a clever move from McGinn, PSG quickly equalised just four minutes later.

Doue's beautiful shot - a powerful finish without a run-up, delighted the audience. With his speed and technique, Doue proved himself to be a bright talent for PSG.

Kvaratskhelia's dribbling is not a combination of modern techniques but he creates natural, free and creative moments.

Nuno Mendes' goal in the final minutes of the match further confirmed PSG's solidity, as they ended the match with a deserved 3-1 victory. This is a PSG that is increasingly perfecting its playing style, not only possessing outstanding stars but also demonstrating cohesion within the entire system. Stars like Kvaratskhelia, Doue, or Mendes are creating a powerful PSG and promising to go even further.

PSG's transformation from a star-studded team to a strong, cohesive unit has been a major success for Luis Enrique. His empowerment of exceptionally talented players like Kvaratskhelia, while building a solid tactical system, has helped PSG produce memorable moments.

Although the season is still long ahead, with what they are showing, PSG is certainly a formidable team in the European arena.
