Luis Enrique’s Bold Goalkeeper Decision for Bayern Clash: Safonov or Donnarumma?
PSG faces Bayern Munich: Luis Enrique’s bold goalkeeper decision
Paris Saint-Germain is set to clash with Bayern Munich in the Champions League this Tuesday night at 9 PM. Here’s the anticipated lineup for the Parisian club.
A crucial decision in Munich
With the stakes high, Luis Enrique and his PSG squad find themselves under pressure as they prepare for a challenging match against Bayern Munich. The Spanish coach is known for his strategic rotations, yet this time, all eyes are on the goalkeeper position rather than the attack, midfield, or defense.
Luis Enrique has stirred up competition in the goalkeeping department over recent weeks, providing Matvey Safonov with playing time. The Russian goalkeeper started his second Ligue 1 match on Friday against Toulouse, where PSG secured a 3-0 victory.
Will Safonov start again?
When asked if Safonov could disrupt the established order with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Luis Enrique replied with his characteristic ambiguity: "Maybe yes, maybe no. You see, I’ve improved my French." Despite his cryptic response, Enrique’s tactical choice does not seem to focus on the Russian’s distribution skills.
After his initial start in Ligue 1, Safonov returned to the bench, allowing Donnarumma to start against Atlético, resulting in a 1-2 defeat. Donnarumma’s performance that evening was disappointing, particularly in the Champions League, potentially opening the door for his competitor.
Expected PSG lineup: Safonov or Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Joao Neves, Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha – Dembélé, Lee, Barcola.
