Rinat Bilaletdinov Evaluates Safonov's Performance

Football expert Rinat Bilyaletdinov has assessed PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov’s performance during the UEFA Champions League group stage sixth-round match against Athletic Bilbao. The game ended in a 0-0 draw.

"The fact that no goals were conceded in two matches proves that Safonov is in excellent form. We’ll see how often he will be featured in future matches.

However, political factors may pose obstacles to this," the expert said in an interview with News.ru. It is worth recalling that Safonov played his first match for PSG last weekend in the 2025/2026 season.

In that game, Luis Enrique's team convincingly defeated Rennes 5-0 at home.
