Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made no secret of her happiness at facing Real Madrid: "I grew up watching Madrid on TV and now they are my rival on the pitch and in our stadium. It's impossible not to be happy on a night like this.
The footballer also recalled Guti's gesture of signing and giving him his shirt: "I loved the way Guti played. I was watching his plays throughout my childhood and I would never have imagined that, one day, he would have called me to have that detail. It was like fulfilling little Khvicha's dream.
Among other things, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia discussed the arrival of Rudi Garcia: "First of all, I have to thank Spalletti. He believed in me and made me realise my potential. Rudi is a great coach, we are improving little by little to learn his tactics and his vision. I'm sure we will soon reach our best version.
Finally, he was full of praise for his positional rival at Real Madrid, Vinicius: "He's very good, a huge talent. The best in this position. It will be a great experience to play against him and the champions Real Madrid have. We respect them a lot.
