Heavily criticized after his new mistake on Sunday against Le Havre, Gianluigi Donnarumma is the victim of a terrible injustice according to Pascal Olmeta.

Author of a bad restart, punished with a goal, against Monaco, the Italian goalkeeper followed up with a hand fault against Newcastle before committing the irreparable against Le Havre with a completely botched exit outside his area, synonymous expulsion.

He remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world on his line for me. I did the math, he helped PSG win 9 points on decisive saves this season, he whispered. That’s huge for a goalkeeper. He was never put in the best conditions. If you don’t understand this…»
