Will Safonov Start in the PSG vs Flamengo Final

In the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final match, French club PSG will face Brazil’s “Flamengo” team. According to sources, the expected starting lineups for both teams are as follows:

PSG: Chevalier (goalkeeper), Nuno Mendes, Pacho, Marquinhos, Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Kvaratskhelia, Dje, Barcola. Flamengo: Rossi (goalkeeper), Sandro, Pereyra, Danilo, Varela, Jorginho, Pulgar, Lino, de Arrascaeta, Carrascal, Henrique.

The main intrigue – will Matvei Safonov guard PSG’s goal from the very beginning of the match? Speculations suggest that he might not start this time.

The reason is that in a previous match in the French championship, he conceded two goals against the underdog “Metz.” Nevertheless, two footballers in Flamengo’s lineup with experience in the Russian Premier League are expected to start in the main squad.

They are Guillermo Varela, previously a player for Moscow’s “Dynamo,” and Jorge Carrascal, who previously played for both “Dynamo” and CSKA. PSG and “Flamengo” will face off today, December 17, on neutral ground.

The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM Moscow time. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
