About the player
When Paris Saint-Germain paid Krasnodar around €20 million for Matvey Safonov in June 2024, he came through Krasnodar's own academy, made his professional debut in August 2017, and by 2018/19 had become the club's undisputed first choice.
In his first season in Paris he won the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France and the Champions League, and he has followed it with the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. He was named best player of the match in the Champions League final and picked up the same award in the Intercontinental Cup, and in December he was named PSG's Player of the Month. He is now the only Russian goalkeeper to have won the Champions League twice.
The individual recognition had already started back home. Safonov picked up the Yashin Award as the Russian Premier League's best goalkeeper in 2021/22, was rated the league's best for prevented goals in 2023/24, and was named a Master of Sport of Russia in 2023. He remains a regular in the Russia squad, with 18 senior caps collected along the way.
