The Paris Saint-Germain coach maintains doubts about the identity of his starting goalkeeper a few hours before a crucial Champions League match against Atlético Madrid. He claims to make this very important decision at the very last moment.
Paris Saint-Germain no longer has the right to make mistakes. After collecting four points from their first three Champions League matches, the outgoing semi-finalist welcomes Atlético Madrid this Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes and already has the pressure of the result. Over the last four meetings, PSG will challenge Bayern Munich and Manchester City in particular and no longer has a choice if it wants to qualify directly for the round of 16. For this match, Spanish coach Luis Enrique will have to decide at the goalkeeper position between Gianluigi Donnarumma, not impeccable during the trip to Arsenal where he missed his exit on Havertz's opener, and Matveï Safonov, established this weekend during the short success obtained against RC Lens.
Donnarumma or Safonov, Enrique will decide
The tenure of the Russian goalkeeper, purchased for 20 million euros from Krasnodar, against the Sang et Or is a challenge, especially since Donnarumma was not unavailable for this match. Simple turnover or real desire to establish competition between the last two ramparts of PSG? Luis Enrique leaves doubt and says he will only make a decision this Wednesday, just a few hours before the meeting: “You’ll find out tomorrow. After a good cappuccino, I will decide tomorrow morning who will be the goalkeeper I consider best able to play. the former Spain coach laughed at a press conference. Whoever the goalkeeper is lined up at the start, PSG absolutely needs a success against the Colchoneros so as not to see direct qualification slip away almost definitively and doubt set in.
