Khvicha Kvaratskhelia injures ACL in PSG's Champions League match against Barcelona

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia suffered a ruptured ACL in his right knee during Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona on October 22. The Georgian winger, a contender for the Ballon d'Or, expressed frustration on Instagram, questioning why he sustained the injury despite prayers for protection. Kvaratskhelia's injury occurred while attempting a tackle, forcing him to be carried off the pitch. He is expected to undergo surgery and face a lengthy recovery period, potentially sidelining him for at least six months. Two other PSG players, Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos, also left the match due to injuries, while Barcelona later complained to UEFA regarding a provocative banner displayed by PSG fans.
