Rio Meets PSG: Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha an...

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Rio travels to Paris and gains behind the scenes access to find out what’s transformed this PSG side into Champions League contenders. After relying on superstar individuals for the last few years, Luis Enrique has one of the most well-balanced teams in Europe.


Kvicha Kvaratskhelia is one of the most exciting attacking talents in world football and he reveals what he enjoys most about playing for Enrique. He discusses the hardest opponents he’s played in the competition this season and how the trio of Dembele, Doue and Barcola motivate each other in training and help keep him at the top of his game.


After leaving Wolves, who decided against making his loan move permanent, few could have predicted his ascent to one of the most talented midfielders in Europe - Rio finds out why Wolves didn’t work out for the Portuguese player and how he maintained the self-belief to ensure he realised his potential.


Another Portuguese midfielder who is realising his potential under Enrique is 19 year old Joao Neves. One of the most humble footballers - he discusses why he avoids the limelight and why playing with the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo helped shape his mentality and values.
