The debate continues within the corridors of Paris Saint-Germain regarding the goalkeeper position, as the name Lucas Chevalier has resurfaced amidst a decline in his technical stability with coach Luis Enrique. This comes despite his signing last summer to be one of the pillars of the new project, a decision that was followed by the release of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In the decisive match against Newcastle, Chevalier was not the first choice, as the coaching staff preferred to field the Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. Many interpreted this move as a clear indication of the Spanish coach's declining confidence in the French goalkeeper during this critical stage of the season.

The French newspaper L'Équipe considered the decision as a direct warning message to Chevalier, given his recent inconsistent performance and Enrique's lack of conviction in what he offers. This reflects the coach's philosophy, which is based on readiness and technical discipline, regardless of names or the value of deals.

On the other hand, observers believe that what is happening might be the beginning of an actual shift in the team's goalkeeper lineup, with Safonov's chances increasing for a bigger role, and possibly becoming the first choice if he continues to deliver convincing performances in upcoming matches.
