PSG: Matvey Safonov offered his jersey after the victory against Flamengo

The penalty hero is him. He was left with an injury and a heroic evening in December in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo (1-1, 2-1 on penalties) where he stopped four Brazilian attempts. Matvey Safonov started this Sunday evening against Strasbourg for the 20th day of Ligue 1, four days after returning to the field against Newcastle.

His return for a Ligue 1 match was interesting since he helped the Ile-de-France residents win 2-1, notably making a sublime 0-0 save from the penalty spot in front of Joaquin Panichelli. True exercise specialist did not celebrate on the microphone of League 1+ and showed himself to be quite detached despite this spectacular and very valuable judgment: “this has been my job. I have to stop this.» Simple and effective for the former FK Krasnodar.
