Paris St-Germain believe that they not only beat Liverpool in the Champions League this season but also beat them to the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
It was not just Liverpool who missed out on the exciting winger who, with his socks rolled down and his desire to run at defenders, is something of a thrilling throwback in modern-day football.
So spectacular was his impact at Napoli, where he helped the Italian club win their first league title since Diego Maradona led them 33 years ago, that he was dubbed ‘Kvaradona’. Given how Maradona is deified in Naples, that is some honour.
