This injury comes as Paris Saint-Germain made an astonishing start to the Champions League season in October. The club have notably scored 14 goals in the competition for the 2026/27 season, which is the joint-highest total by a team after 3 matches in a season with Arsenal in 2010/11.
The Parisian club thus passed its first two big tests of this European campaign with flying colors against Manchester City and Barça, hoping to further gain strength in the competition.
At the same time last year, Bayern had shown PSG the path it still had to go to establish itself as the best team in Europe.
The Parisians have also been described by their management as being the kings of concentration.
PSG faced the best team of the moment in Europe, which remained on 11 consecutive victories while averaging 4.4 goals per outing. The Parisian club recalled on this occasion that it remained the most formidable team on big C1 nights for two years.
Aged 25 and arriving in the capital in January 2025, the Georgian player quickly became one of the team's main offensive dynamiters, totaling 19 goals and 11 assists in all competitions last season. The Parisian club has confirmed that he will be absent for a long period following this shock.
Paris Saint-Germain announced on Wednesday October 21 that its striker Khvicha Kvarastkhelia suffered from a ruptured anterior ligament in his right knee, which occurred during contact with Barça player Xavi Espar during a Champions League match against FC Barcelona.
