@AmorimEra_ wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Desire Doue, you will save football," and @_Grimanditweets commented: "Nahhhh this Desire Doue strike is outta this world!!
@10blended tweeted: "This PSG team is the most entertaining I’ve seen in my life I’m lost for words bro."
@JustinWalley10 put: "Kvaratskhelia is that rare player in the modern game who is capable of almost anything. The antithesis of an overcoached football robot."
@pythaginboots posted: "Kvaratskhelia is a hybrid of Pires/Grealish but with the powerhouse build/mentality of a Ribery who bounced off defenders. The foot roll was chef’s kiss and then a hammer of a weak foot shot… how are you meant to stop that as a full-back."
And @ConnCFC added: "Kvaratskhelia is a RIDICULOUS player. That's the tweet."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
After knocking out one of the Champions League favourites in the last 16 in Liverpool, PSG are looking like the team to beat in this year's competition. They are playing a brilliant brand of football, have some individuals who are virtually unplayable, and it seems they can get even better – which is a frightening thought for the other teams. A first-ever Champions League crown is very much on the cards for the French giants.
