😱 Safonov the hero: made PSG champions with a broken hand | OneFootball

The hero of the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo, Matvey Safonov, suffered a hand fracture and will miss several weeks.

That’s football. You can go from hero to zero, be on top and then disappear. That’s exactly what Matvey Safonov just experienced. A backup goalkeeper at the start of the season for Paris Saint-Germain, the Russian took advantage of Lucas Chevalier’s mediocre performances to try his luck.

However, it will be some time before he returns to the pitch. In fact, according to the medical report from the capital club, the Russian is suffering from a fracture in his left hand: “Matvey Safonov suffered a fracture in his left hand after the match against Flamengo. A new evaluation will be carried out in 3 or 4 weeks,” it was reported.

Later, at a press conference, Luis Enrique confirmed that the Russian saved the last two penalties with the fracture and barely felt any pain at the time due to the adrenaline.
