PSG star, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, delivered a performance of the highest calibre as Paris Saint-Germain edged Bayern Munich 5–4 in a pulsating Champions League semi-final first leg.
The performance has already been widely described across European coverage as an instant classic.
The Georgian winger was central to PSG’s attacking surge in Paris, scoring twice and constantly unsettling Bayern’s defensive structure with his pace, movement, and direct creativity. In a match defined by relentless momentum swings and open play, he stood out as one of the decisive difference-makers in a nine-goal thriller.
PSG’s victory reflected a night of attacking brilliance on both sides, but Kvaratskhelia’s influence in key moments ultimately tilted the contest in the French champions’ favour, giving them a narrow advantage heading into the return leg.
Following the match, former Netherlands international and four-time Champions League winner Clarence Seedorf was among those full of admiration for the 23-year-old. In widely reported post-match reactions, Seedorf described Kvaratskhelia as the standout player of his generation at present, praising his maturity, versatility, and ability to change games at the highest level.
Seedorf’s remarks added to the growing acclaim around the PSG forward, whose blend of flair and efficiency has made him one of Europe’s most talked-about attacking talents this season.
With PSG now holding a slim lead after a chaotic first leg, attention turns to the decisive second meeting, where Kvaratskhelia’s form is expected to remain central to their hopes of reaching another Champions League final.
