Safonov: This match was very difficult, I'm really tired but happy we won

Safonov gave a post-match interview after Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal to win this season's Champions League.

There must be a lot of emotions right now, tell us how you're feeling at this moment.

I'm just tired, really tired. This game was very difficult for us, but we won, so of course I'm very happy now.

You were just sitting on the grass, what was going through your mind then?

My head hurts a bit because I got hit by the ball earlier. But it's kind of a mixed feeling. But I'm really happy. I don't want to use up all my energy now because tomorrow we have to take this trophy back to Paris, which will also be incredible. So now I need to recover a bit and recharge myself.

When the game went into a penalty shootout, what were you thinking then?

Penalty shootouts are always like another match within a big game. But I was ready. I've gained a lot of experience in this over the years, so it's not difficult for me. Although I didn't save any penalties, Arsenal also helped me a bit, and we ultimately won.
