Portuguese agent Paulo Barbosa shared his impressions of PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov's performance in the 5th round of the Champions League group stage match against Bayern Munich (0:1) in a comment to "SE".
“Safonov was excellent yesterday! He was the best player on the PSG team. In recent matches, Matvey has proven that he deserves to be the number one goalkeeper for the team. It’s clear that there is significant competition and pressure from the media, but in my opinion, Safonov's performance is on the rise. Enrique will find it hard not to include him in the lineup. If it weren't for Safonov, the outcome of the match against Bayern could have been different; the Munich team should have scored more. The PSG coach will have a tough time making his choice; the Russian has shown everyone that he is ready and that he is an excellent goalkeeper,” said Barbosa to "SE".
The Russian goalkeeper made 6 saves and received a rating of 7.1 according to SofaScore—4th place among PSG players. According to Flashscore, Matvey Safonov is the best player of his team in the match with a rating of 7.5.
Bayern Munich has accumulated 9 points and climbed to 11th place in the standings. PSG has dropped to 26th place, having 4 points to their name.
