What happened: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has become the only player in UEFA Champions League history to record a goal contribution in seven consecutive knockout-round games, per Fabrizio Romano. The Georgian winger extended the streak during PSG's run to a second straight Champions League final. Romano confirmed PSG will face Arsenal in the final.

Why it matters: The mark cements Kvaratskhelia as one of the most decisive knockout-stage performers in modern European football and validates PSG's January push to sign him. It also arrives amid exit rumors his family has dismissed, reinforcing his central role in Luis Enrique's project. For a club long defined by Champions League heartbreak, having a record-setting knockout producer reshapes the narrative heading into the final.

What to watch: Watch the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal, where Kvaratskhelia will look to extend the streak to eight knockout games. Any further transfer-market noise around his future is worth tracking, though his father has publicly dismissed exit talk.
