Paris Saint‑Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been named the 2025/26 Champions League Player of the Season by a UEFA panel of technical observers. The 25‑year‑old Georgian scored ten goals and provided six assists across 16 matches.
He won the penalty in the final that Ousmane Dembélé converted, helping PSG beat Arsenal on penalties to retain the title. The panel described his season as “pivotal and dazzling,” noting his two‑goal performance in the semi‑final first leg against Bayern Munich.
Key Points:
Kvaratskhelia’s recognition confirms his rise to world‑class status.
His creativity and goal threat were decisive in PSG’s back‑to‑back European titles.
A winger winning the award highlights the importance of wide attackers in modern football.
The award may boost his candidacy for the Ballon d’Or later this year.
His consistency across knockout rounds (Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, Arsenal) proves big‑game reliability.
Kvaratskhelia will aim to carry his Champions League form into the upcoming World Cup with Georgia.
