No saves in draw

Safonov made no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout victory versus Arsenal.

Analysis: Safonov had little chance with Arsenal's opening goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League final in Budapest, beaten in the sixth minute when Marquinhos' attempted clearance off Leandro Trossard fell perfectly into the path of Kai Havertz, who finished clinically from the left side. The Russian goalkeeper was otherwise rarely tested across 120 minutes as Arsenal sat deep and largely played on the counter, but he proved decisive in the penalty shootout, unsettling Arsenal's takers and seeing two of them miss the target, helping PSG secure back-to-back Champions League titles. Safonov ends the 2025-26 season with 12 clean sheets, 73 saves and 27 goals conceded across 26 appearances in all competitions, remaining one of the key figures behind the club's remarkable Champions League triumph.

Eight saves in victory

Safonov registered eight saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Lens.

Analysis: Safonov delivered his best individual performance of the Ligue 1 season by making eight saves to help his side secure both the clean sheet and the Ligue 1 title. Safonov has now made 34 saves, conceded 12 goals and kept eight clean sheets across 14 Ligue 1 appearances this season, confirming his place as the top goalkeeper in the pecking order. He will look to carry this form into the next match against Paris FC on Sunday.
