Luis Enrique Surprises with Matvey Safonov in Goal as PSG Defeats RC Lens 1-0
In a surprising move before the match against RC Lens, PSG coach Luis Enrique made a bold decision to start Matvey Safonov as goalkeeper instead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, a choice he later explained.
On Saturday afternoon, PSG faced RC Lens at the Parc des Princes, securing a narrow 1-0 victory. The decision to field Matvey Safonov in goal raised eyebrows, as Gianluigi Donnarumma is typically the first-choice keeper.
Speaking to beIN Sports, Luis Enrique clarified that Donnarumma was fit, stating, “Gianluigi Donnarumma wasn’t injured. I want players who are ready.”
Luis Enrique pleased with Matvey Safonov’s performance
The Russian goalkeeper delivered a strong performance, managing to keep a clean sheet, much to the delight of his coach. “Matvey Safonov provided us with a certain superiority. He was excellent, and it wasn’t easy for him. I am very happy with his performance,” Luis Enrique remarked during the post-match press conference.
