Moving to Bayern Munich, PSG badly needed points. Obviously Matvey Safonov didn't have to be told twice.
Matvey Safonov honors PSG goalkeepers
It was Luis Enrique's choice of the evening. Do without the services of Gigio Donnarumma in the cages, in favor of his understudy Matvey Safonov. A cheeky choice for some, daring for others. And it only took 38 minutes for the Russian goalkeeper to prove the Spanish coach right. On a Bayern corner, Safonov is in the path of the ball, but what he does with it is what we're talking about this evening. A sort of release with both fists that goes straight towards Min-jae Kim. 1-0 for Munich.
First match in the Champions League for the Russian goalkeeper, and first assist.
