Any formula serves to push the Paris Saint-Germain towards a second consecutive Champions League. Also the most extravagant. Adult film actress Mary Rock launched a proposal as unexpected as it was viral: she promised Matvey Safonov a “passionate night” for every stop he makes in the final against Arsenal on May 30. The Russian goalkeeper did not respond publicly. Yes, his partner, Marina Kondratiuk, did, quite ironically.
“An adult film actress wished my husband good luck for the Champions League final and promised him a passionate night every interruption,” she wrote on Threads. “He has no idea that, for him, hot nights mean doing crossword puzzles, watching What? Where? When? and going to bed at 11:30 at night, because, damn, he has to get up early the next day to train.”
The comment further fueled the conversation around a footballer who is going through the best moment since his arrival in Paris. Safonov was named man of the match in Lens after a gigantic performance in the match that brought PSG closer to the title. The Russian, who has ended up displacing Lucas Chevalier, transmits security and supports the team in moments of maximum demand.
On Wednesday he put on his work overalls again. Eight stops and another exhibition between the sticks to confirm that PSG arrives protected at the big European event. The French club feels that it has found a goalkeeper capable of making a difference on big nights.
The final is already looming in Paris
Safonov hardly wanted to dwell on the praise after the match. The goalkeeper had his mind set on Wembley and on the date marked in red for weeks. “The most important thing is that we won. Everything else is a bonus. But for us, this is not over, it will end on May 30. Until then, we will be very focused,” He assured BeIN Sports while leaving the Lens pitch.
