This week saw the second legs of the 2025-2026 Champions League playoffs. As a result, UEFA is holding various votes among fans. Paris Saint-Germain, who drew 2-2 at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday against AS Monaco (5-4 on aggregate) has one player in UEFA’s Team of the Week: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25-year-old forward).
There’s a slight surprise: PSG weren’t particularly exciting either collectively or individually. It’s difficult to make a strong impression in what is still a very demanding week in the Champions League. The competition is fierce at every level in this competition. Désiré Doué (the 20-year-old midfielder/forward) was interesting, a decisive catalyst for a struggling team, but it seemed difficult to outshine other top players this week.
However, Kvaratskhelia managed to stand out. There may not have been a particularly impressive right winger this week, and his goal certainly helps to draw attention to himself. In any case, this selection is purely honorary. And that’s great for the Georgian; it’s always good for his confidence to be in the spotlight.
Let’s hope to see a more impressive PSG in the upcoming European matches; they’ll need to if they want to go far.
