Valery Gazzaev comments on Matvey Safonov’s Lev Yashin Trophy nomination

Matvey Safonov has been nominated for the Lev Yashin Trophy, awarded annually to the world’s best goalkeeper, with prominent coach Valery Gazzaev offering his assessment of the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper’s bid for the prestigious prize.

The award was won last year by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Safonov joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024 and has since established himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper after winning the competition for a starting place.

The Russian has also collected nine trophies with Paris Saint-Germain.
