Rangnick: “With a score of 4:0, Kvara ran 60 meters to retrieve the ball. I have never seen anything like that at PSG from Neyma

The head coach of the Austrian national team, Ralph Rangnick, named one of the factors that ensured the victory of PSG in this year’s Champions League.

“Do you know why PSG only just won the Champions League, having spent so much money? For 10 or 15 years they have spent a lot of money. And now the main stars are gone. No Kylian Mbappe, no Leo Messi, no Neymar — and here they are winning the Champions League.

Coincidence? No. They have gone through this. An example is Kvaratskhelia, who, with a score of 4:0, ran 60 meters to get the ball 20 minutes before the end of the match. I have never seen anything like that from Neymar, Messi, or Mbappe. And this is the strength of the team,” quotes Rangnick the Spanish publication Sport.
