PSG&rsquo;s victory marked their first-ever Champions League title, with goals from Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi, Senny Mayulu, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The win has now capped a sensational season for Kvaratskhelia who transferred from Napoli to PSG in January 2025 and became the second player in history to win a quadruple across two teams in one season. It includes securing two league titles, the Coupe de France, and the Champions League.<\/p><p>Georgian athletes have continued to thrive internationally, with UFC fighters like Ilia Topuria and Merab Dvalishvili taking charge. UFC Bantamweight champion, Dvalishvili won his belt after taking down Sean O&rsquo;Malley at UFC 306 in December 2024, finishing with a unanimous decision victory. His success paired with Kvaratskhelia&rsquo;s football achievement, has brought Georgia its pride. The Bantamweight champ took notice of Kvaratskhelia&rsquo;s achievements, and shared his pride for the fellow Georgian. If you&rsquo;ve watched Dvalishvili, you&rsquo;ll know that he has consistently shown his national pride by carrying the Georgian flag during walkouts.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN &#127942;&#128079; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WWegBKBkjz\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/WWegBKBkjz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_espanol) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PSG_espanol\/status\/1929281616741822672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 1, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/julianna-pena-confident-in-submission-victory-against-olympic-judo-gold-medalist-at-ufc-316\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>Julianna Pena Confident In Submission Victory Against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist At UFC 316!<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dvalishvili Congratulates Kvaratskhelia on Social Media<\/h2><p>Merab Dvalishvili posted an instagram story to congratulate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after PSG&rsquo;s dominating 5-0 Champions league final win over Inter Milan.
