On Wednesday, in the 2025 Intercontinental Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain will face Flamengo at the Ahmad-ben-Ali Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha, Qatar (kick-off at 6 p.m., CET). On the eve of this match, PSG striker Kvhicha Kvaratskhelia (24 years old) answered several questions in the mixed zone.
Kvaratskhelia: “It’s a great match to play in an incredible atmosphere.”
“All trophies count, this is an important title for us, we’re ready for it. It’s our last chance to win a trophy this season, so it’s important to do everything we can to win it. Every title is a privilege. We all know that Qatar is PSG’s second home. It’s a great match to play in an incredible atmosphere.”
Flamengo, as the coach told us, they have a great team. It was a tough match, and we’ll have to be 100% ready.
Kvaratskhelia: “It’s not my job to talk about his future (Salah)”
Salah to PSG one day?
“It’s not my job to talk about his future. He’s a great player, I wish him all the best, but I repeat, it’s not my job to answer that.”
This final against Flamengo goes far beyond a simple end-of-season trophy. For Paris Saint-Germain, it represents a possible apotheosis, the perfect culmination of an already remarkable season. Winning would give complete coherence to a season marked by consistency, maturity, and a newfound ability to rise to the occasion in big matches.
This type of match can’t be replayed: it’s won or it slowly fades from memory. Kvaratskhelia understood this well, reminding everyone that every title is a privilege and that this opportunity is rare. A victory in Doha would propel this team into another dimension, beyond the club, beyond even the present era. It would etch this PSG into football history, the kind that is still recounted years later, when a season becomes a benchmark.
