The most expensive goalkeeper in history. The Russian goalkeeper disgraced himself in the Champions League match. Video

The goalkeeper of the French club Paris Saint-Germain and the Russian national team, Matvey Safonov, failed to play the first half of the Champions League match against Bayern Munich in the 5th round. The 25-year-old native of Stavropol conceded a ridiculous goal, becoming a real laughingstock on the net.

In the 38th minute, the hosts won a corner kick. Kimmich managed to twist the ball so well that Safonov could neither deflect it nor hold it in his hands.

The round ball bounced to Min-Jae Kim, and the 28-year-old defender scored the only and winning goal of the match with his head.

It will be recalled that Safonov moved to Paris in the summer of 2024, becoming the most expensive goalkeeper PSG has bought in its history: the transfer was estimated at 20 million euros. Since then, Matvey has played in 5 matches in all tournaments. The Russian conceded 2 goals. In three matches, he was 0 for 0.

It should be noted that Safonov has played for various Russian national teams since 2015. In the fall of 2020, the leadership of the first national team called the goalkeeper to prepare for the Nations League matches against Turkey and Hungary.

He is a two-time bronze medalist of the Russian Championship. In the 2019/2020 season, he was ranked second in the list of the 33 best players in the Russian championship.
