Khvicha Kvaratskhelia once again made a major impression against Aston Villa. The Georgian forward scored in PSG’s 2-1 UEFA Super Cup victory and received huge praise from Unai Emery, who considers him the clear favorite to win the Ballon d’Or.
Even from the opposition camp, Kvaratskhelia continues to impress. After trying to find ways to limit the PSG star’s influence during the match, Emery could only acknowledge his quality in his post-match press conference. “In my opinion, Kvaratskhelia is the big favorite for the Ballon d’Or!” said the Aston Villa manager.
Emery Full of Praise for Kvaratskhelia
The Spanish coach went on to explain his admiration for the PSG attacker. “He is fantastic,” Emery said, also highlighting the Georgian’s consistency in major matches. Against Aston Villa, Kvaratskhelia found the net once again. “He scored a goal, as usual. We tried to stop him, but the quality he showed was exceptional.” The praise is even more significant considering Emery had specifically prepared his team to neutralize PSG’s main attacking threats.
Emery went even further by claiming that Kvaratskhelia has everything required to lift football’s most prestigious individual prize. “The decision is not mine, but he has everything it takes to win this trophy!” concluded the former PSG coach. His comments add another high-profile endorsement to Kvaratskhelia’s Ballon d’Or campaign, with his European performances and trophies won with Paris potentially playing a major role in the voting.
His goal in the UEFA Super Cup only strengthens his case. In a competitive match against Aston Villa, the Georgian once again made the difference and directly influenced the result. PSG have started the season with another trophy, while Kvaratskhelia continues to build his case for individual honors. After Emery’s glowing comments, his name is more firmly than ever among the leading Ballon d’Or contenders.
