Makes seven saves
Safonov registered seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Strasbourg.
Analysis: Safonov played an important role in PSG's comeback victory, producing seven saves to keep his side within reach after Strasbourg took an early lead. The goalkeeper made a particularly important stop to deny Conrad Harder's header early in the second half before Paris scored three goals. Safonov has now recorded 19 saves, nine goals conceded and one clean sheet across seven Ligue 1 appearances this season. The Russian goalkeeper will look to build on his strong performance when PSG face Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday before hosting Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
No saves in draw
Safonov made no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout victory versus Arsenal.
Analysis: Safonov had little chance with Arsenal's opening goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League final in Budapest, beaten in the sixth minute when Marquinhos' attempted clearance off Leandro Trossard fell perfectly into the path of Kai Havertz, who finished clinically from the left side. The Russian goalkeeper was otherwise rarely tested across 120 minutes as Arsenal sat deep and largely played on the counter, but he proved decisive in the penalty shootout, unsettling Arsenal's takers and seeing two of them miss the target, helping PSG secure back-to-back Champions League titles. Safonov ends the 2025-26 season with 12 clean sheets, 73 saves and 27 goals conceded across 26 appearances in all competitions, remaining one of the key figures behind the club's remarkable Champions League triumph.
