PSG 1-1 Reims: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia dazzles in his debut

The match marked Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s debut with PSG. He put in a standout performance, making his first goal contribution for the Parisians.

The Georgian got a total of 83 minutes of play, as indicated by SofaScore, leaving a big impact on the PSG fans, with his great offensive display and his class of play.

Kvaratskhelia was a constant danger on the left flank, demonstrating his offensive capacity and his ability to overflow.

In numbers, the winger completed 68 touches of the ball with an impressive passing accuracy of 91%, managing to complete 39 of 43 attempts.

In addition, he participated in 17 duels, winning 5 of them, and showed his dribbling ability, being a constant challenge for the Reims defenders.

His most outstanding play came in the 47th minute, when he assisted Ousmane Dembele for the goal that opened the scoring. However, Reims’ equaliser came shortly after, leaving PSG without a victory.


PSG’s big challenge ahead

On the immediate horizon, PSG are preparing for their final UEFA Champions League group game on January 29, when they will face Stuttgart.

Although expectations for Kvaratskhelia are high, everything seems to indicate that his European debut with PSG will have to wait until the next phase of the competition.

This draw leaves PSG with pending work, both on the pitch and in the offices, as they continue to seek to consolidate their squad and achieve the objectives set for the season.
