The UEFA Technical Observer Group has named Paris Saint-Germain’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League Player of the Season, according to the league’s official website.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made a strong impact in the UEFA Champions League last season, featuring in 16 matches and playing a total of 1,141 minutes. During the campaign, he scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists, contributing significantly to his team’s attacking performance. His club, Paris Saint-Germain, went on to win the UEFA Champions League for the second consecutive season with Kvaratskhelia as part of the squad.

“The exciting Georgian winger played a huge part in Paris winning their second consecutive title, scoring ten times and providing six assists throughout the competition as he dazzled on the left flank.

He was pivotal in the final win against Arsenal too, being brought down by Cristhian Mosquera for a penalty which Ousmane Dembélé converted to haul Luis Enrique’s side level at 1-1.

Arguably Kvaratskhelia’s finest performance came in the unforgettable 5-4 semi-final first-leg win over Bayern, as he curled in a beauty to draw his side level at 1-1 before adding a fierce drive in the second period to complete a fine double,” the UEFA statement reads.
