Safonic transfer is a strange
When the last PSG was played in the Finals of the Champions League, Rico – Kiper was sitting on his bench with a reserve with the experience of speeches in the APL and La Liga. Last year, the team reached the semifinals of the tournament – it did not get the basis, but was with the Navas team. At various moments, the second PSG caps were the areola (had a strong season in Vilmarreal and bought a competitor for a place in the start), Trapp (at some stage-3rd gate of the German national team) and buffon (apparently, comments). That is, the approach of the capital club has always been the same: he took the guard of the gate, which already proved himself at the level of the top climber, but not so cool that it is already too age in place in the base in a state of Grand/was too age in order to be considered the first number in the best teams. And what about Safon? At the time of signing the contract, he was 25 and he still had no experience in Europe. Unless he had time to play in the Champions League and LE, but he did not collect even 20 matches there. That is, the PSG bosses did not have a sufficient sample that they had to evaluate the previous goalkeeper.

The format was changed specifically for the Russian had more matches
Well, the root cause of the change in format is the UEFA desire to make more money. But would football officials make decisions based on its only advantage? Of course not. They know that more matches are even more opportunities. Including to lobby for their ideas and distribute your own narratives. Therefore, they gave the opportunity to play more matches-at least 8 instead of the usual 6. Thanks to this, Safonov got into the application more often, and people who watched football saw him there regularly. In addition, UEFA has advanced the Russian to almost the only club of Europe, which will accurately play in the Champions League for the next many years, because PSG has no competitors in France. City can be disqualified for financial fraud, Barcelona can go bankrupt, almost any project can fall apart. Almost. But not one that has no competitors in their own country.
Do you think Lyon just took up this season and obliged to pay hundreds of millions of debts? No. All for the sake of “PSG” does not have a competitor in the country.
The draw was conducted in such a way that they look at the PSG
Everyone has already acknowledged that at the League stage, PSG had the most complex rivals and the smallest passing matches. And this is not just like that: UEFA was interested in the viewer, when he had to choose, turned on the PSG match and, at the same time, Safonov’s match. After all, the football fan will not look at the Parisian duel against the conditional “storm”, but on his duels against “Man City”, “Athletic”, “Bavaria” – yes. UEFA wanted it to be like that. In addition, a heavy calendar is also a chance that the team will not be able to qualify immediately until the 1/8 finals. And if not – will have 2 more additional matches. So it happened with PSG. And now the team plays more than others (no one spent more duels in this Champions League than the French), and for the most part-against top orders. And the viewer looks, and somewhere in the background the commentator every time talks the name of the Russian goalkeeper …
The English League is the best viewing in the world. “PSG” in 2025 was “pushed” from Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal because they knew that the matches with the participation of the British would look.
Singo agent and purchased Donnarumma
On December 22, PSG had to start at the France Cup, and a difficult duel-against the strong “Lana”. At that time, everything looked like Donnarumma had to play: Safonov made a effective mistake in his last match against Bavaria (0: 1). And Paris goes to the field of the 19th of Monaco-wins 4: 2, but at the very start of the duel, even before the middle of the first half, Singo jumps into Donnarumm and causes him injuries. Yes, this is exactly the moment when Gianluigi got that scar on the cheek: Monaco’s football player touched him with spikes of boots. After that, the Italian was forced not to play in the cup. Safonov went to the field, and the team won 2: 1 – and then he played in that tournament in each of the duels until the finals. If it were not for Singo, we may not have seen the Russian goalkeeper at all until the last tours of League 1 until PSG would have made the championship.
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine Well, if you started about Donnarumm: you see in this playoffs, how much he is. He pulled out both games against Arsenal, saved in the second duels against Aston Hilla and Liverpool. Therefore, in the season in the season in this tournament, the Italian has an indicator +2.1 by post-show (the difference between the expected and the actual missed), that is, saved the team from a couple of “extra” heads. But in the championship he missed up to 3 more than it should. Plus, he brought several balls at the League Stage in the League. That is, in decisive matches, when the team really threatened the departure from the tournament, Donnarumma turned, and in all others – on the contrary. Not the best season performed by the goalkeeper. Do you remember at least one more kiper, who would perform badly all season, and suddenly became the hero at the most important moment? I will not remember anyone. Either Gianluigi is the only one of a kind, or he did it specifically…
Last season, Donnarumma had one of the best post-post shows in the top League-+10.4 in League only 1. That is, he is a really steep shot stoper. Was. And then the Russian came. He is given the opinion that he was paid for him to “help” the representative of the aggressor country to get more likely. And when he wanted to get back, they attracted Singo …
Still did not work
“PSG” will play in the finale of the Champions League, and Safonov will be on the bench of the spare potential winner of the tournament – this is the case. Little UEFA Victory. And Cheferin somewhere in the stands, sitting next to influential football people, will almost certainly say something like: “Look, a Russian athlete in the Champions League. Maybe, well, his removal? How much does it lose football because of it … ”. He (but not only he) worked for more than a season to say this phrase, and maybe not only in his neighbor’s ear at the stadium, but also in some official speech. It was a long way, and UEFA reached its. But… Did all this work just as the Union wanted? To Nnarumma pulled the “PSG” into the final of the tournament, so if the goalkeeper of the team was talked about in the context of “Victory”, then only about him. Does someone remember the Russian, the last match of which in the tournament – was held last year? Hardly.
UEFA did a great job, but it was not enough. This time football won.
