Lens/PSG – Fans overwhelmingly picked PSG’s best player | OneFootball

On Wednesday at Stade Bollaert, Paris Saint-Germain won their postponed Matchday 29 game of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season against Lens by a score of 0-2 (Lens/PSG video highlights). As we now do after every match, we then asked our readers to vote for the best Paris player of the game. Matvey Safonov (27-year-old goalkeeper) came out on top.

It is an exceptional, overwhelming, and undoubtedly deserved success. PSG were not collectively brilliant yesterday. There was rotation in the squad, and you could feel a certain level of energy management. Nothing illogical given the absences and the Champions League final on May 30 against Arsenal, which is clearly on everyone’s mind. Against a strong Lens side, PSG needed a Safonov at his very best in order to hold firm.

Along with a few fine defensive interventions, one might have expected a few more votes for Ilya Zabarnyi (23 years old) or Lucas Beraldo (22 years old). But Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25-year-old forward) opened the scoring, while also contributing defensively, and Dro Fernandez (18-year-old midfielder) produced some excellent passes.

In any case, thank you for your votes. As a reminder, the podium from each match is then used for the Player of the Month election.
