At yesterday's PSG media day ahead of the final, Kvaratskhelia said: "It’s been a very long journey.

“I’ve overcome difficult moments, and that’s hugely important in a footballer’s career. I’ll always carry Georgia with me—it gave me everything, it helped me.

“I’m proud to be Georgian, and I want to help my country because it’s hard for a Georgian player to make it in a top European league.

“When I signed, I never imagined I’d reach a Champions League final so quickly. I’m happy to be here and to have this opportunity—it’s like a dream.”

 

I know how strong Inter are

On whether he has any inside knowledge on Inter to pass onto coach Luis Enrique and his staff.

Kvara also said: “They don’t need my help—they watch the games and they’re better than me.

“I can share a few things since I’ve played against them so many times; I know how strong they are.”
