Gianluigi Donnarumma has already experienced competition at PSG, with Keylor Navas. The Italian goalkeeper could soon relive this situation with Matvey Safonov.
Friday evening, in the opening match of the twelfth day of Ligue 1, Matvey Safonov played his fifth match with Paris Saint-Germain since the start of the season. Against Toulouse (3-0), the Russian goalkeeper produced a satisfactory performance.
After the meeting, Luis Enrique once again maintained the suspense concerning the hierarchy in this very special position. Tuesday evening, PSG will face Bayern Munich on the fifth day of the Champions League. A priori, Gianluigi Donnarumma should regain his starting place for this crucial confrontation.
Safonov starting against Bayern?
However, a surprise cannot be ruled out. “If Luis Enrique considers that tactically Bayern fits into this type of team, we should not be surprised to see Safonov starting at the Allianz Arenal, wrote journalist Romain Beddouk on X. It will not be a question of hierarchy, just a tactical adaptation as for all other positions. »
As for Lionel Charbonnier, he considers that the former AC Milan player is absolutely no longer permanent in the Parisian goals. “I am permanently removing the immunity totem from Donnarumma. In Italy, he is lucky not to have a great goalkeeper who could compete with him. At PSG, either he is sharp, becomes better and makes decisive saves, or Safonov wins and becomes number one. believes the 1998 world champion on RMC.
