As Georgia prepares to face Portugal in their final Euro 2024 group game, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is eager to fulfill a lifelong dream by going up against his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Sportskeeda. The Napoli winger has long admired the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and is relishing the opportunity to test his skills against one of the greatest footballers of all time.
"It was a dream I had," Kvaratskhelia said in an interview ahead of the match. "He was an idol for me. I'm happy to see him on the field. It was a dream I had, and we'll see what happens."
Kvaratskhelia's admiration for Ronaldo is well-documented, and the 23-year-old has often spoken about the influence the Portuguese superstar has had on his career. With Georgia desperate for a win to advance to the knockout stages, Kvaratskhelia will be looking to use his skills and speed to outmaneuver Ronaldo and the Portuguese defense.
While Ronaldo has yet to score in the tournament, his presence on the field is always a threat, and Kvaratskhelia will need to be at the top of his game to keep up with the legendary forward. Despite the challenge, Kvaratskhelia is confident in his abilities and is looking forward to the opportunity to learn from one of the best..
