A powerful No. 7 led his country from the front.

And the heroes of his country made history.

When they played Portugal, Kvaratskhelia had one of the best games of the event.

Who is Cristiano?

No, this was Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s night with his spouse and their two children.

In the days before the game, Kvaratskhelia said he had not done well in his country’s first big competition.

The electric winger who was a big part of Napoli’s 2022–23 Serie A win was not living up to the name that his fans had given him.

Diego Maradona will always be ahead of Kvaradona.

But for one night only, he and his side defeated living legend Cristiano Ronaldo and his highly regarded Portugal team.

They took the lead after just 90 seconds, thanks to Kvaratskhelia’s spectacular breakaway goal.

It seemed improbable that they could hold out for another 90 minutes or more.However, some brave defending and Portugal’s failure to take advantage of their opportunities kept them ahead until George Mikautadze increased their lead with a VAR-awarded penalty.
