Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the worst unemployed in the evaluation of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals played by PSG and FC Barcelona on Wednesday in Paris. Although, from the opinion published in France, the main focus of criticism after the defeat in Paris (2-3) fell mainly on who is still the great star of the team, Kylian Mbappé, another name came out quite splashed, the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma . A leading media outlet like L’Equipe pointed to the Italian international goalkeeper in the last few hours while reminding that there is still a second leg in Montjuïc to settle it. “Donnarumma will play on his credibility at Barcelona,” he headlined. “How will Gianluigi Donnarumma recover after his failed PSG match against Barça,” he added. “He has a return match on Tuesday in Barcelona to show that he is one of the best,” he insisted. “The pressure will not fall solely on the shoulders of Kylian Mbappé, eagerly awaited on Tuesday in Barcelona in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League,” he added.
In his argument, that was understood Donnarumma was involved in the three goals PSG conceded on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals (2-3)”. “Directly or indirectly guilty of three purposes trapped in the match (…) Donnarumma will be followed closely for three days at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc. “Football is such that it always allows players to recover very quickly.”He suggested.
Donarrumma, 25 years old, has played this season in all 9 games played by PSG in the current edition of the Champions League, scoring 12 goals after the three he scored for Barça at El Parque de Los Princes. The contract ends in 2026 and since football is opportunistic, there are those who remember that in the summer of 2023, the possibility of PSG going to the market for an established goalkeeper with a resume that will put pressure on the ownership of former Milan goalkeeper. is spinning. Finally, they took advantage of the fact that Barça did not activate the clause to extend the contract of their talented reserve team goalkeeper, the under-21 international Arnau Tenas, to strengthen themselves with a goalkeeper for the future. Among the candidates rumored to be heading to Paris are former Sevilla and Moroccan international Bono and the perennial French team goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Donnarumma’s season has generally been good, so expectations for Tuesday’s crucial match with Barcelona in Paris that he will be invited to rehabilitate his image.
