PSG Goalkeeper Duel: Safonov or Chevalier? Luis Enrique Defends Despite 2-1 Loss to Monaco

In the opening match of the 2026-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 2-1 defeat to AS Monaco at home at Parc des Princes. The visitors' second goal came from a poor save by goalkeeper Matvei Safonov, who is now under heavy pressure from the media. Many opinions suggest Safonov has become a weakness in PSG's defensive system. Coach Luis Enrique still insists he trusts the team and has no plans to make quick changes. The battle for the number one spot between Safonov and Lucas Chevalier has reignited after both coach Enrique and some key players signed new contracts, making this moment particularly difficult for the club's stability project.
