Matvey Safonov News: Five saves in draw

Safonov registered five saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Bayern Munich.

Safonov played a decisive role in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena, making five saves over 90 minutes to keep his side ahead on aggregate, including a crucial low stop to deny Jamal Musiala just before halftime. The Russian goalkeeper was beaten only in stoppage time by Harry Kane's emphatic finish from Alphonso Davies' assist, a goal that came too late to prevent his side from reaching the Budapest final. Safonov has made 32 saves, conceded 12 goals and kept 4 clean sheets in 12 Champions League appearances this season. He will face Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30, having been a consistent and reliable presence throughout the knockout rounds.
