Former Russia national team striker Dmitriy Bulykin shared his thoughts about goalkeepers Nikita Khaykin and Matvey Safonov. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Speaking about their current careers, Bulykin highlighted the distinctive qualities of Khaykin and Safonov. As is known, Nikita Khaykin plays for Norway's "Bodø/Glimt" team, while Matvey Safonov is active at France's "PSG" club.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. According to Bulykin, in terms of physical capabilities, Matvey Safonov has the advantage.

However, Nikita Khaykin has repeatedly proven his skills at the international level, saved his team in difficult situations, and achieved significant successes with "Bodø/Glimt". This has made him an important player for his team.

Additionally, matches between "Monaco" and "PSG" as well as "Bodø/Glimt" and "Inter" are scheduled to take place in the Champions League playoff stage. The games are expected to be held on February 17 and 18.

These matches are an opportunity for both goalkeepers to once again demonstrate their skills.
