Matvey Safonov summed up the results of the triumphal season in PSG

The goalkeeper of the national team of Russia and the French “Paris Saint-Germain” Matvey Safonov put himself the highest score for performances in the last football year. The athlete shared his assessments and emotions from the work done during an online conversation with Russian schoolchildren, organized with the support of the Russian Football Union.

According to the goalkeeper, before the start of the season, he outlined a clear sporting benchmark - to break into the five strongest goalkeepers of European football, and in the end this ambitious bar was on his shoulder. Safonov admitted that at the moment when it became known that the prestigious individual award would pass him by and he stopped at the fourth line, he had a full awareness of the scale of the journey.

In just six months, he did a huge amount of work, collected a collection of major trophies with the Paris club and implemented a maximum program for a year. Drawing a line under this stage, the footballer summed up that he closes the season with a score of “five with a big plus”, since all the tasks were completely completed.

Recall that according to the results of voting for the award of the best goalkeeper of the season according to the authoritative publication France Football, the Russian finished fourth, losing the main trophy to the Spanish gate guard Unai Simon. Nevertheless, Safonov’s team harvest with PSG was impressive: together with the French grandee, he won the gold of the national championship, won the Champions League, and also became the owner of the Intercontinental Cup.

Matvey Safonov told students what food he lacks in Paris.
