Khvicha Kvaratskhelia delivered a strong message about Paris Saint-Germain F.C.\u2019s mentality after the club secured qualification for the UEFA Champions League final following their dramatic semi-final clash against FC Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
After PSG\u2019s 1-1 draw at Allianz Arena sealed a 6-5 aggregate victory, football journalist Fabrizio Romano shared Kvaratskhelia\u2019s quote on social media that quickly caught the attention of fans across Europe.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt PSG, if you don\u2019t run, you are on the bench,\u201d the Georgian winger said.<\/p>\n
The statement appeared to highlight the demanding standards set inside the PSG squad under manager Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach has repeatedly demanded intensity, pressing and defensive effort from every player this season, regardless of their attacking quality or reputation.<\/p>\n
PSG once again showed that work ethic during the tense second leg in Munich. The French side battled through heavy Bayern pressure before Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 opened the scoring and extended PSG\u2019s advantage in the tie.<\/p>\n
Although Harry Kane scored a dramatic late equaliser in the 93rd minute, Bayern could not find another goal to keep their European hopes alive.<\/p>\n
Kvaratskhelia\u2019s comments quickly went viral online, with many supporters praising PSG\u2019s collective approach this season. Fans also pointed to the club\u2019s improved balance compared to previous years, when the team often relied heavily on individual brilliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
