On Tuesday at Stamford Bridge, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Chelsea 3-0 in the second leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 tie (PSG won the first leg 5-2). (Video highlights: Chelsea/PSG, 8-2 aggregate score; quarter-final to be played against Liverpool or Galatasaray). Following the match, UEFA named the best player of the game.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25-year-old forward) was a logical choice, given his opening goal, the chances he created, and his tremendous defensive work. Other Parisians could have been selected, such as Bradley Barcola (23-year-old striker) or Vitinha (26-year-old midfielder). Above all, it’s a great collective performance, which remains the most important thing.
