Kvaratskhelia blazes into the season with a Supercopa stunner

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia picked up exactly where he left off. In the Super Cup against Aston Villa, the Napoli winger marked his 25-26 campaign debut with a goal that perfectly captures his current form.

He collected the ball near the box, cut inside from the left wing and curled a powerful strike into the top corner. A goal worthy of a player operating at peak level. Having finished last season with 18 goals and 10 assists across Ligue 1 and the Champions League, the 25-year-old Georgian confirms he remains operating at that elite level, according to Mundo Deportivo.

While he may not be among the top contenders for the Balón d'Or due to missing the World Cup—Georgia failed to qualify—his talent and performances in the two most prestigious competitions make him a serious candidate nonetheless. So far, the 25-26 season is off to a positive start for Napoli.
