The winger had endured a difficult few weeks in the beginning of the season, but he has sparked into life over his last two Serie A appearances.The Georgia international put in a starring role with a goal and an assist as his team beat Udinese 4-1 last Wednesday. Then, in the weekend's 4-0 win at Lecce, Kvaratskhelia chipped in with another assist.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 22-year-old was a sensation for Napoli last season, scoring 12 goals and setting up 10 in 34 Serie A appearances as his side went on to win the title.However, his recent displays have convinced Garcia that he is up and running once again and in good time, with the Italian champions set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"I think of Kvara who used to play with a lot of anxiety and was very much looking for the goal that he had been missing for a long time," the coach told reporters. "Now that he has found his composure again, he has also found the goal again."He added: "When you win the first two of the championship you can't say that you started badly. The thing that has changed is that by scoring and not hitting the post you find confidence. Kvaratskhelia has regained his confidence and is now back to being a unique footballer. You can see that he has found serenity again. Before, however, he forced the play too much."

WHAT THEY SAID

Garcia will hope Kvaratskhelia can help fire his team to a Champions League win against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
