Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has already played a role this season in denying Inter Milan, the Serie A-title, and the Georgian now hopes to get better with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League of Saturday.
The 24-year-old Kvaratskhelia moved to Paris from Napoli in January for a reported 70 million euros plus bonuses.
He will play a key role in front of Luis Enrique against Inter in Munich, despite missing the French Final victory of last weekend in Reims as a precaution due to a small fitness problem.
Perhaps he had finished late the last night to celebrate the Serie A Triumph of his former club, while Napoli Inter brought to the Scudetto in their last game of the season.
The second Italian competition championship of Napoli in three campaigns was claimed despite 'Kvara', one of the stars of their title in 2023, leaving the team in the middle of the season.
Two years ago instrumental, when he earned the nickname 'Kvaradona' in the club where Diego Maradona is an icon, he played a crucial part in the early weeks of this season under Antonio Conte and scored five goals in the first 10 Series A matches -only four Napoli players ended the campaign with more die, with more dose with more, with more dose players.
Kvaratskhelia can therefore claim the medal of an Italian league winner for this season, as well as one for Ligue 1 for his contribution to PSG's Cruise to the domestic title.

His transfer to PSG, however, really helped the French side in Europe, where the extra competition for places in attack contributed to the best from colleague attackers Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Desire Done.
The left wing that likes to play with its socks that are rolled around his ankles also fits perfectly in the system of coach Luis Enrique, which requires the attackers to do their bit to help the team defensively.
“He is perfectly adaptable to our way of playing. He is versatile. He can go beyond players, and he can also defend what is essential because we must be able to defend as 11 players and attacks as 11 players,” Luis Enrique said in January.
“He fits in our idea how to play football.”
Key for PSG already
So far, Kvaratskhelia has contributed six goals and six assists in 24 performances for PSG, including a wonderful strike against Aston Villa in the first stage of their Champions League quart final and the pass to set Dembele's winning goal to Arsenal in the Halvis.
PSG had already started to turn a slow start of this season when the former Rubin Kazan player arrived, but Luis Enrique is convinced that the presence of Kvaratskhelia was essential in his team that went to Munich.
“If you in -depth analyzing how we have improved defensively, it comes down to the way the attackers help. The way they defend is exceptional, and show the statistics how many balls they are recovering for us,” the coach said last week.
The PSG boss is still confronted with a difficult decision about which one of his four most important attackers to leave the front three at night-33 goal scorer Dembele will certainly start, which means that one of the in-shape Due or the lively Barcola should fall to the couch in the start XI.
But his experience with playing Inter could be invaluable, even if Simone Inzaghi's side did well when they met him in Napoli.
Kvaratskhelia won only once in six collisions against the Nerazzurri with his former club and never scored against them.
“Technically, he is a special player, so it will not be easy,” he insisted that Denzel Dumfries, the Dutch right wing of Inter, who is probably in direct opposition against Kvaratskhelia in the night.
Can Inter this time celebrate at its expense, or will Kvaratskhelia get hold of the medal from another winner on Saturday?
