French PSG midfielder Vitinha said that he was ready to give the team goalkeeper Matvey Safonov the award for the best football player of the Intercontinental Cup.

The meeting between PSG and the Brazilian Flamengo took place on December 17 in Ar Rayyan (Qatar) and ended with the victory of the Parisians in a penalty shootout (1:1, 2:1). Russian goalkeeper Safonov saved four shots in a row in the penalty shootout and was recognized as the best player of the match. The Portuguese Vitinha was recognized as the best player of the Intercontinental Cup, although PSG played in the tournament straight to the final.

“I would never doubt an individual award.” I accept it with pleasure, but it’s a little strange, because Safonov saved four penalties and was recognized as the best player of the match, and I played the same match and was recognized as the best player of the tournament. But I accept it with open arms and am grateful. I would have given the award to Safonov if it was necessary, but he was already recognized as the best player of the match, so I happily kept the tournament award for myself,” Foot Mercato quoted Vitinya as saying, citing A Bola.
