Terrible blow for Kvaratskhelia, but good news for PSG

Georgia will not go to the 2026 World Cup… and neither will Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian star, captain and starter throughout the match, helplessly watched his team’s collapse against an unstoppable Spain (0-4) in Tbilisi. A elimination that, paradoxically, will give the future Parisian a full summer to recover before starting his season at PSG.

Against a mission-driven Spain, Georgia never existed. Punished as early as the 11th minute with a penalty converted by Oyarzabal, Willy Sagnol’s men then endured wave after wave of Spanish attacks. Zubimendi (22nd) and Ferran Torres (34th) quickly sealed the fate of the match, before Oyarzabal completed his brace in the second half.

Kvara will be able to go on a long vacation

On the Spanish side, Fabian Ruiz shone: providing an assist for the second goal and delivering a solid performance before being substituted after an hour. Spain, untouchable in this Group E, is close to the World Cup.

A 7-0 defeat against Turkey would be needed to send them to the playoffs.

Georgia, on the other hand, sees its dream collapse. No World Cup, no miracle. For Kvaratskhelia, at least, there is one certainty: he will be able to recharge his batteries this summer to arrive in top form for the new season of Paris Saint-Germain.
