A historic sextuplet! PSG went to snatch, at the end of the Qatari night, the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo this Wednesday, December 17. A title that the capital club owes greatly to Matvey Safonov, who was phenomenal during the penalty shootout (1-1, 2-1 on the tabs) with four saves to his credit. Previously, the Russian had been able to count on an astonishing Warren Zaire-Emery in his right lane.
Safonov: 9,5. It was the strong and unexpected choice of Luis Enrique. And it was an incredible winning move! The Russian was imperial during the penalty shootout, repelling four attempts from the Brazilians! An absolutely crazy and legendary performance from number 39 who proved that he had not stolen his place. Previously, he had experienced a calm first period with only one save to make (17th) and a slight scare on a blocked clearance (16th). Caught on the wrong foot on Jorginho’s penalty (62nd), he had saved the best for last.
