Kvaratskhelia started among the substitutes, but emerged off the bench to change the game in PSG’s eventual 5-2 victory over Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Wednesday night.

The scores were level at 2-2 at the time of Kvaratskhelia’s introduction, but the Georgian came on to change the game, providing two goals and an assist to help his side to a convincing 5-2 scoreline.

The first goal that Kvaratskhelia scored on the night was a particularly special finish, cutting in off the left flank onto his preferred right foot before slamming a bending effort right into the side netting.

“My first goal tonight reminded me of the one I scored at the Maradona against Monza,” Kvaratskhelia noted after full-time. “It was essential to win,” he continued. “I’m happy with the brace but now I’m looking forward to the next game.”

The goal that ‘Kvara’ was referring to came in a 4-0 against Monza at the Stadio Maradona during Napoli’s 2022-23 Scudetto-winning campaign.
