Top Wednesday Champions League goals, Kvara named MVP

Paris – UEFA’s official reel of Wednesday’s Champions League highlights is headlined by two explosive cameos that turned marquee fixtures on their head.

First into the spotlight, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Introduced on the hour against Chelsea, the Napoli loanee needed only half an hour to author a personal master-class: two clinical finishes and a slick assist that together powered a 5-2 statement win for Paris Saint-Germain. The statistical lightning bolt was enough for the match officials to hand the Georgian winger the Man of the Match trophy—an honour rarely bestowed on a substitute, let alone one with just 30 minutes of playing time.

Not to be outdone, Federico Valverde produced a 45-minute hurricane at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Uruguayan midfielder hammered a first-half hat-trick as Real Madrid dismantled Manchester City 3-0, a barrage that even caught the eye of Kylian Mbappé, who watched from the stands and was seen applauding the relentless display.

With those two performances anchoring the mid-week narrative, UEFA’s goal compilation video has quickly become required viewing for fans eager to relive the drama that only the Champions League can deliver.
