On May 30, Matvey Safonov started at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest (Hungary), for the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. Which allowed him to win the biggest title since the start of his career.
“I wanted it to be a normal match. I played well, I didn’t have to change anything. Was I more nervous than usual? Of course. We must not deceive ourselves”confided the Russian goalkeeper during an interview given to the YouTube channel Vpiska.
During the match, Matvey Safonov conceded a goal from the Gunners’ only shot on target, from Kai Havertz. During the penalty shootout, he did not need to make a save for PSG to retain their European crown.
Matvey Safonov hasn’t changed his routine
“This is probably the most important match of my career, he judges, before specifying that he didn’t have any particular difficulty getting to sleep afterwards. As usual, I laid down and watched videos on YouTube. I did as usual. »
During last season, the Krasnodar player overthrew the hierarchy in his position. Since then, Lucas Chevalier has become his understudy and has not played a single official match since January.
