✍️ What PSG Fans Can Expect From Kvaratskhelia

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia became a household name at Napoli, but now must take his game to a new level under the bright lights at Paris Saint-Germain.

On paper, Marseille and Monaco are Paris Saint-Germain’s two biggest threats to the Ligue 1 title, sitting 10 points and 13 points behind league leaders PSG, followed by Nice (14) and Lyon (15). However, they’re far from PSG’s bogeyman – that title is reserved for Stade de Reims. Reims returned to Ligue 1 in 2018/19 after two seasons in the second tier and finished a respectable eighth in the Ligue 1 table, losing 4-1 at PSG before winning their next two matches vs. Les Parisiens by a two-goal margin, but PSG would respond by winning their next five meetings with Les Rouges et Blancs.

Since then, Reims have managed to hold PSG to a draw in five of their last six encounters, a run that continued at the weekend. Having won their last five matches in all competitions as well as their last four league matches, PSG were thwarted in a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes despite having 18 shots to Reims’ 6 as well as 78% possession. It was a frustrating night for PSG, who are seeking a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 championship, but there was one player who delivered: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
