Head coach PSG Luis Enrique in a press conference, he explained why, 10 minutes before the end of the away match of the 1/16th finals of the Coupe de France against Espaly (4:2), he had decided to send the goalkeeper to warm up Matveïa Safonov. The score at that time was 2:2.
Defended the goal of the Parisians in the last match Arnau Tenas.
I let Safonov warm up in order to preserve the possibility of choice. I was not sure that I would have made this change if there had been a penalty shootout, because Tenas is also good in this area. But again, I wanted to leave all options open and I was lucky that it didn’t end up in a penalty shootout.
