PSG keeper Safonov fractured hand during shootout heroics

"I can't explain anything, it's incredible. The player doesn't know how it happened,"

"We think it was on the third penalty kick. He made a strange movement and fractured it. He saved the last two shots with the fracture. The adrenaline was so powerful that the player was able to do it without pain. It's incredible."

"You know, no matter what happens, I can't be broken."

Matvei Safonov fractured his hand during the penalty shootout while saving four consecutive penalties to secure the Intercontinental Cup as PSG beat Flamengo. He remained on the field and celebrated, being lifted into the air by teammates. The injury likely occurred on the third penalty after a strange movement, yet he saved the final two kicks despite the fracture, reportedly driven by adrenaline. Club medical staff plan to re-evaluate the situation after three to four weeks. Safonov had not played for PSG until Lucas Chevalier suffered an ankle injury; Chevalier was on the bench for the final. PSG's next match is a Coupe de France tie with fifth-tier Vendee Fontenay.
