Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Matvei Safonov suffered a broken hand during his heroic performance in the Intercontinental Cup final against Brazil’s Flamengo. Despite the injury, Safonov saved four penalties in the shootout, leading PSG to a 2–1 victory and securing the club’s first-ever global title. The match ended in a draw during regular time before the dramatic penalty decider.
PSG coach Luis Enrique confirmed on Friday that the injury likely occurred during the third penalty save, though Safonov continued playing without realizing the severity due to adrenaline. “It’s unbelievable — he stopped the last two shots with a fractured hand,” Enrique said, praising the goalkeeper’s commitment and mental strength. Medical staff will reassess Safonov’s condition in three to four weeks.
The injury casts uncertainty over PSG’s upcoming fixtures, with the club expected to rely on backup options in goal. Safonov’s resilience, however, has been widely lauded as a symbol of PSG’s determination during their historic triumph.
