Kvaratskhelia from PSG awarded as the best player of the 2025/26 Champions League season

Paris – 31.05.2026: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian striker for Paris Saint-Germain, was officially awarded on Sunday as the best player of the 2025/26 Champions League season. UEFA honored the 23-year-old for his outstanding performances in Europe’s most prestigious club competition, emphasizing especially his threat in front of goal and tactical intelligence. Kvaratskhelia impressed with 12 goals and 8 assists, proving to be a key factor in the renewed success of the French capital’s club.

The striker, who transferred from Napoli to PSG in the summer of 2025, played a crucial role both in the group stage and in the knockout rounds. His decisive goals helped Paris reach the semifinals. Especially in critical moments, Kvaratskhelia demonstrated composure and creativity, earning recognition from both fans and experts.

It is interesting to note that Kvaratskhelia received this award from his teammate Ousmane Dembélé, who had been named the best player of the Champions League in 2025. The two professional footballers currently demonstrate PSG’s power on the European stage like never before.

Winning the title of best player in the Champions League highlights not only Kvaratskhelia’s individual class but also the offensive quality of the PSG squad, coached by Luis Enrique. The Parisians thus send a clear signal to their competitors, confirming themselves among the favorites despite strong competition.

In addition to Kvaratskhelia, players such as Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid and Erling Haaland from Manchester City were also candidates for the award, having also shown excellent performances. The choice of the Georgian was ultimately determined by his decisively influential actions on the game and his consistent high-level presence.

With this award, Kvaratskhelia and PSG receive confirmation of their ambitions to win the Champions League. The club plans to strengthen its position in Europe in the long term through further investments and the acquisition of young talents. Kvaratskhelia plays a central role, both athletically and as a figure of identification for the club.

The 23-year-old spoke with humility and gratitude after the award: he dedicated the honor to his team and fans, emphasizing that successes are only possible collectively. For PSG, this distinction represents another important milestone in the journey to establish itself as a leading European club. The current Champions League season has once again demonstrated the strength of the team led by Luis Enrique, further fueling great expectations for the years to come.
