Paris Saint-Germain secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Stade Brestois in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off on Tuesday night at Stade de Roudourou, with Ousmane Dembélé scoring twice.
Unless Brest stages a huge comeback, PSG will meet either Barcelona or Liverpool in the Round of 16. This dominant display continues to show the strong form of Luis Enrique’s side.
In their last four matches, PSG has outscored opponents 14-3, picking up wins over RB Salzburg, Manchester City, VfB Stuttgart, and now Brest. Moreover, a matchup against Barcelona or Liverpool will see the Parisians count on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Opens Up About Adaptation Process
Kvaratskhelia is finding his footing at PSG, but the capital club may need him to accelerate the adaptation process as they’re likely to face Barcelona or Liverpool.
L’Equipe reports that if all the integrations can’t happen immediately, Kvaratskhelia knows he’s joined a well-oiled team, and blending in will take some time. He also hasn’t played in a month at the start of the winter, so he needs to return to his rhythm.
Si toutes les intégrations ne peuvent pas être instantanées, Kvara a conscience qu'il est arrivé dans un collectif huilé et que s'y fondre prendra du temps.
Sans oublier qu'il n'avait pas joué un mois au début de l'hiver et qu'il doit donc retrouver ses sensations.

It will be interesting to see if these next few matches will see the Georgia international find that consistency, as he’ll be needed if PSG wants to upset either Barcelona or Liverpool in the Round of 16.
