Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 5-2 against Chelsea (video highlights PSG/Chelsea) this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes as part of the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 (return leg on March 17). After this victory, Parisian forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25 years old) spoke to CBS Sports Golazo. 

Kvaratskhelia "we have several great players who want to start"

30 minutes to be man of the match, you seemed very disappointed on the bench?

Of course, no player wants to be on the bench. But we have several great players who want to start and I respect the coach's choices. No matter how many minutes, I always want to give 100%. I did that today, with a very good performance. We won with a lead and that's very important, even though we must not think it's over.

Kvaratskhelia "We always make the effort, we always want to continue."

The 2-2 seemed like a fair result for a long time, but you took the lead?

Yes, what I like is that even at 4-2 we wanted to score more. We had a very good counter-attack. We always make the effort, we always want to continue.

A resemblance to last season?

Yes, there was a difficult start and then the team got better, I hope we will win again this year. We must focus on each match.
