On May 30, Paris Saint-Germain faced the Premier League champion, Arsenal, in the UEFA Champions League final, a championship the former won.

After a very good season and winning the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 title, PSG quickly focused on the final matches of the Champions League, which were very physically demanding.

Although the players and the club's coach, Luis Enrique, admitted that they felt more mentally prepared than last year to play the final, they strove and motivated themselves in each training session for the great final.

However, on the day of the match, something about PSG's winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, caught the attention of the media and fans watching both at the stadium and at home.

The player with the No. 7 entered the field of play from the start with a large bandage covering part of his right leg, and although it did not raise any alarm because the Georgian ran and moved normally, it did make people wonder what had happened to him.

Kvaratskhelia was repeatedly seen getting frustrated during the match because the bandage seemed to be falling off, a situation that occurred after an hour, and visibly bothered him.

The wound on Kvara's leg was very large and seemed not very deep, but striking. In fact, the media took photos and close-ups after the player fell to the grass after the duel with Cristhian Mosquera and earned a penalty.

But as far as is known, the PSG star had already been wearing his bandage since before the match, since the last training session with the Parisian team.

According to information from Culture PSG, Kvara always trains with his socks down, but in that last training session, he did so with his socks up, so the aforementioned outlet took on the task of investigating the matter.

The French outlet discovered, thanks to a person close to the 25-year-old player, that he suffered an injury during one of the training sessions before the great final, sustained after a slide tackle at the Campus.

Kvaratskhelia started the slide tackle on the natural grass of the campus and ended up on the artificial grass surrounding the fields, scraping a large part of his leg. Now we know where his wound came from.

Despite this small accident, nothing came of it, and the Georgian felt in good enough condition to act as if nothing was wrong in the final. Although the Parisian team had moments of frustration at the beginning, they ended up with their second consecutive Champions League trophy.
