The popular statistics portal Sofascore has released its player ratings for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The platform named Bayern's veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer as the standout performer of the match, awarding him an impressive score of 8.9.
For Paris Saint-Germain, Russian goalkeeper Matvei Safonov did not receive the highest evaluation from the analytical service. His rating for the crucial European tie settled at 6.8. This places him below the team's top-rated players for the evening.
Within the PSG squad, the highest marks went to Georgian forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who earned an 8.0, and left-back Nuno Mendes, who was given a 7.6. Conversely, the lowest ratings for the Parisian side were assigned to midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery, who received a 6.0, and Vitinha, who was graded at 6.4.
On the Bayern Munich side, alongside Neuer's top mark, striker Harry Kane also delivered a strong performance according to the metrics, securing a rating of 7.9. The match itself concluded with a 1-1 scoreline, a result that would have been analyzed through these individual contributions.
This appearance was part of Safonov's season with PSG. The 27-year-old shot-stopper has participated in 24 matches across all competitions for the club during the current campaign. His future at the Parisian club appears secure, as his current employment contract runs until the summer of 2029.
According to the transfer portal Transfermarkt, Safonov's market value is currently estimated at 22 million euros. The final of this season's Champions League tournament is scheduled to take place at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, with the decisive match set for May 30, 2026.
