PSG beaten by Barcelona, French press identifies culprit
Clumsy exits, indecisions, in general a poor sense of security that ended up affecting Paris SG’s performance in every department. The French press hits hard on Gigio Donnarumma's night after the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, with the Parisians beaten 2-3 at the Parc des Princes by Barcelona.
One of the worst on the field, è the local media charge, would have been the Italian national team goalkeeper himself. His mistakes actually contributed to triggering the blaugrana’s three goals: first a low, empty exit and an erroneous sending-off for Rafinha’s double.
Then a blatant indecision on the goal by Christensen, who had just entered, on a loose ball from the corner. "Catastrophic", "a magnetà" are some of the judgments reserved for Donnarumma’s performance by French newspapers, heavy even in grades: 3 from Equipe (which headlined "L'incorrigible Donnarumma"), 3.5 from Le Parisien.
When it was still 0-0, the Azzurri goalkeeper, usually safe between the posts, had sent worrying signals to his own with a clumsy exit at the 20', forcing Nuno Mendes to perform a half miracle to clear on the line after the goalkeeper's mistake, again on a corner kick.
