On Tuesday at Anfield, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Liverpool 2-0 in the second leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-final (4-0 on aggregate). As we now do after every match, we asked our readers to vote for the best PSG player of the game. Matvey Safonov (the 27-year-old goalkeeper) won..
A great victory for the Parisian goalkeeper, who had recently been under scrutiny after a mediocre performance against Toulouse in Ligue 1. He responded perfectly recently, and particularly in this second leg of the quarter-final. It’s difficult to imagine Lucas Chevalier (24 years old) reclaiming his place, as the Russian made some excellent saves, crucial clearances, and successful distribution.
However, we weren’t necessarily expecting such a victory. There’s also an imperious Willian Pacho (24-year-old defender), a very important Marquinhos (31-year-old defender and captain), a valuable João Neves (21-year-old midfielder), and Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) who scored a brace… It’s fierce competition in this PSG side, which is above all strong collectively, even when things get tough.
Thank you for your votes. As a reminder, the top three finishers from each match are then used to determine the Player of the Month.
