Kvaratskhelia's timeless football

5 goals of PSG in the Champions League final In the early morning of June 1, PSG rose and created the Champions League final with the biggest difference in history.

In the early morning of June 1, in PSG's 5-0 victory over Inter Milan, Kvaratskhelia scored to increase the score to 4-0 in the 73rd minute, after a very high-class escape and finish with his weaker left foot.

Unique processing

The above goal earned him praise from experts. Former Norwegian and Premier League player, Jan Aage Fjortoft, commented: "Kvaratskhelia has a style of play that can shine in any era, from the 50s, 60s, 70s of the last century to modern football today. A very special talent".

The Guardian commented that Kvaratskhelia has a unique style of play, completely different from many contemporary players. "It's timeless football," the British newspaper analyzed about the PSG star.

In a time when many players today seem to be bound by rigid tactical systems, playing programmed football from academies, Kvaratskhelia maintain freedom in their style of play.

Kvaratskhelia is the epitome of a player who knows how to create a unique moment. Kvaratskhelia's dribbling and finishing are free and creative.

The PSG star's near-post finish with his weaker left foot in the final was truly unique, as many players would choose to curl or shoot with their stronger foot into the far corner.

However, Kvaratskhelia turned all the rules upside down, leaving a brilliant player like Yann Sommer unable to do anything. Joining PSG in January for a transfer fee of €70 million (plus €10 million in bonuses), Kvaratskhelia quickly proved his worth.

Before scoring in the final, he had made important contributions to PSG's journey in the Champions League this season. Kvaratskhelia scored his first goal for PSG in the tournament in a 7-0 win over Brest in February 2025.

Worth every penny

So far, Kvaratskhelia has scored 3 goals and provided 5 assists in the 2024/25 Champions League, becoming an indispensable factor in coach Luis Enrique's squad. Previously, the goal in Kvaratskhelia's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals surprised fans.

The Georgian winger performed a masterful piece of technique - dribbling the ball with his right foot and twisting his hips around Disasi, causing the defender to fall backwards and barely catch a glimpse of the ball. Kvaratskhelia then finished powerfully with his left foot into the near corner, beating the Villa goalkeeper and giving PSG the lead.

Le Monde newspaper at that time used the word “genius” to describe Kvaratskhelia’s handling. 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 seems to reappear”.

Kvaratskhelia is not only the pride of PSG but also a symbol of Georgian football. He also made history as the first Georgian player to score in a Champions League final.

It can be said that it has been a long time since Eastern European football has produced a player with an improvisational playing style and reached the top like Kvaratskhelia.
