Happy birthday Matvey Safonov! | OneFootball

This Wednesday, February 25, as they host AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9:00 PM, broadcast on Canal+) for the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League play-offs (having won 3-2 in the first leg), Paris Saint-Germain has a small event to celebrate. It’s the birthday of Matvey Safonov, the goalkeeper who turns 27 today.

Arriving in 2024, Safonov was a big surprise in the transfer window and had to play the role of number 2 behind Gianluigi Donnarumma for a long time. But Lucas Chevalier replaced the latter with mixed performances, and an injury in the autumn gave the Russian an opportunity. He seized it and has recently become the starter. We can only wish him to continue in this way, even though the competition will remain tough and the expectations very high at PSG. In the meantime, we wish him a happy birthday. Let’s hope to celebrate it tonight with a victory and qualification for the round of 16.
