Le Parisien identifies Matvey Safonov weakness after Paris Saint-Germain victory

Le Parisien has highlighted one weakness in Matvey Safonov’s performance for Paris Saint-Germain following the club’s 4-2 win over Barcelona in the third round of the league phase of the Champions League.

The French publication’s report focused on the Russian goalkeeper’s display during the match, in which the Ligue 1 side secured victory against the Spanish club.

However, the article also acknowledged that Safonov had made progress with the ball at his feet, pointing to an improvement in his distribution and involvement in Paris Saint-Germain’s build-up play.

Luis Enrique’s side will return to domestic action on 25 October, when Paris Saint-Germain host Lyon in the French championship.
