PSG v Monaco: Kvaratskhelia reveals the key and looks ahead to the draw! | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 against AS Monaco (video highlights PSG/Monaco) this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League play-offs (5-4 on aggregate). After this victory, Parisian striker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25 years old) spoke in the mixed zone.

Kvaratskhelia: “We were good.”

Did PSG suffer?

I don’t think so. We were good, but we conceded the first goal even though we had many chances before that goal. But that’s football, it happens. And Monaco is a very good team, they play counter-attacks very well. They were dangerous and they scored a goal.

But we came back well in the second half and we just conceded in the last few minutes and it was difficult after that. But in the second half, I think we did a great job and it was okay.

Kvaratskhelia: “We were better in the second half thanks to that.”

Did you think about being eliminated during the match?

Anything is possible in football, Monaco is a great team. They defend and attack very well, so anything is possible. When they scored, we lost a little bit of confidence. But then, the coach spoke to us in the locker room and we were very motivated. We were better in the second half thanks to that.

How do you explain the defensive difficulties?

As I said, it’s football. Monaco is a great team, who could score against anyone in this competition. We conceded the goal at the end of the half, but we came back to do the job and things went well for us.

Kvaratskhelia: “We’ll see who will be ready to play against us.”

Chelsea or Barça next?

We respect both, they are two great teams. We’ll see who will be ready to play against us.

Are you ready for the round of 16?

Of course!
