Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has made a quick impact at Paris Saint-Germain. He’s had 10 goal involvements since joining the French champions in January 2025. The Georgian winger has given a big boost as PSG competes for success in the season’s final weeks.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Kvaratskhelia signed for PSG on January 17, 2025, in an €80 million transfer. He debuted less than ten days later, assisting in a 1–1 draw against Reims. Since then, he’s reached 10 combined goals and assists across all competitions, showing his immediate impact. He scored his first PSG goal in a 4–1 win at Monaco and netted his first Champions League strike in a 7–0 win over Brest in February. His performances add attacking depth and creativity for the Ligue 1 leaders.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
PSG won their 13th Ligue 1 title on April 5 after a 1–0 win over Angers, with Kvaratskhelia becoming the first Georgian to win the French league. After he joined, PSG stayed strong at the top of Ligue 1 and are doing well in the latter stages of the Champions League. This season, Kvaratskhelia has mainly played as a left winger but has also featured centrally and on the right. He has scored several goals and provided assists in 21 league appearances. His form has helped PSG pull away from their rivals, keeping a comfortable lead in the standings.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR PSG AND KVARATSKHELIA?
PSG’s next game is important as they face Lyon, who are aiming for a European spot, in Ligue 1. With only a few matches left, PSG are several points ahead and will try to maintain their domestic lead and it is likely the team will rotate the squad as their Ligue 1 title has already been secured. They also aim for success in the Champions League. Kvaratskhelia’s top form and ability to perform in big matches will be key as PSG aims to finish the season strong and prepare for a potential Champions League semi-final. PSG’s nearest competitors are far behind in the points race, allowing some room for the champions in the final fixtures.
