“It was like he saw us practice.” Flamengo coach – about Safonov
Flamengo head coach Felipe Luis joked after the Intercontinental Cup final that PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov saw the Brazilian team training.
The meeting in Ar Rayyan (Qatar) ended with the victory of PSG in the penalty shootout (1:1, 2:1), Matvey Safonov saved four shots and was recognized as the best player of the match.
— Probably, the PSG goalkeeper studied the data very carefully. He was waiting for Pedro’s shot and stayed in the center when Leo Pereira hit. It feels like he saw our training yesterday. He should be praised for such a game. PSG are having a fantastic season. Congratulations to them and the goalkeeper, who saved four penalties and made his team champions,” Globo quotes Felipe Luis.
For the Russian goalkeeper, this is the sixth trophy for PSG. Safonov is 26 years old and moved to PSG in the summer of 2024. Previously, with the club, he won the championship, the French Cup and the French Super Cup, as well as the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.
