Gianluigi Donnarumma nipped in the bud in France

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the report cards

Gigio Donnarumma è’s week was one to quickly forget. In a short time, the Italian national team goalkeeper made two bad mistakes that drew criticism from the French media. In just five days, Donnarumma conceded two goals due to poor foot management that opened the door for Minamino against Monaco and against Newcastle, after a bad rebound of Almiron’s shot that allowed Isak to score.

The critiques from French newspapers were not long in coming, rating his performance with a 3 on the report card. Meanwhile, VAR Kwiatkowski’s decision to award a penalty to Psg in the match against Salzburg sparked protests from Newcastle.

"Donnarumma è failed to deflect enough to his right the shot of the Swedish striker, who è then returned to his area", reports l'Equipe. The newspaper also points out a bad pass by Hakimi, which occurred about 10 minutes earlier, that led to Isak’s conclusion over the crossbar from the edge of the small area. "Totally responsible for Isak’s goal", says Le Parisien, pointing out that it è was a mistake that could have cost very dearly. According to Figaro, the Swede’s shot è was instead "harmless" Le Monde, on the other hand, points out that the former Milan goalkeeper made a mistake on goal and still has room for improvement in his movements with his feet.
