  "account": "Cristiano Ronaldo has offered words of encouragement to PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia following his anterior cruciate ligament injury. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who is Kvaratskhelia's childhood idol, urged the 25-year-old not to lose confidence during his recovery and rehabilitation. Ronaldo's message comes after Kvaratskhelia sustained the injury during PSG's UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona, with the player undergoing surgery in the days to follow. Kvaratskhelia, who had been in fine form before the injury, expressed his disappointment at being unable to prepare for the match. Despite his setback, the Georgian international vowed to work hard during his rehabilitation and return stronger for his supporters. Ronaldo's message carries extra weight for Kvaratskhelia, who has looked up to the Portuguese star since childhood, offering him the motivation to overcome the challenge and return to the pitch.",
