Russian goalkeeper Safonov took the award for the best save of October in France

Russian goalkeeper of the French football club Paris Saint-Germain Matvey Safonov was awarded for the brightest save in the second autumn month in the national championship. The corresponding release was issued by the press service of Ligue 1.

As part of the seventh round of the championship, the Russian goalkeeper managed to fend off the most difficult blow of the Danish striker Strasbourg Konrad Harder. That match took place on October 17 and brought the Paris team a confident victory with a score of 3: 1.

Today, Safonov is 27 years old. He joined the French grandee in the summer of 2024, moving from Krasnodar. During his performances with PSG, the goalkeeper collected an impressive collection of titles, twice celebrating triumphs in the Champions League, the French Championship and the UEFA Super Cup, as well as once winning the Cup and Super Cup of France and the Intercontinental Cup.

As part of the current game cycle, the Russian has already defended the gates of Parisians 16 times in various official tournaments.
