Kvaratskhelia Shines in UCL Final: PSG vs Inter

The UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan was already poised to be a night of drama and talent—but for Georgia, it became historic.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the rising star from Tbilisi, made headlines once again by becoming the first Georgian footballer to score in a Champions League final. His goal came in the 36th minute—a dazzling solo run cutting past two defenders and slotting the ball into the bottom corner. The stadium erupted. Georgian fans around the world erupted. This wasn’t just a goal—it was a moment for the history books.

Playing for PSG, Kvaratskhelia’s performance throughout the season had already earned praise, but this final proved his elite status. With Neymar sidelined and Mbappé under tight marking, it was Khvicha who delivered when it mattered most.

The match itself was intense. Inter’s disciplined defense clashed with PSG’s flair, but it was the Georgian winger who unlocked the deadlock. Though the final ended 2-1 in PSG’s favor, it was Khvicha’s name that echoed across Europe.

From dusty pitches in Georgia to the grandest stage in club football, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has not just represented his country—he's rewritten its football legacy. Georgia has its first Champions League goal scorer in a final, and perhaps, its first true global football icon.
