PSG-Liverpool: the new nightmare of Gianluigi Donnarumma

“”If Alisson is at PSG, they do not lose the match.The sentence, signed Samir Nasri, is shared by many Parisian supporters this Wednesday evening after the cruel PSG defeat in front of Liverpool, at the Parc des Princes. While the Parisian players stumbled on an Alisson in a state of grace, the Reds only needed a shot on a frame, in the 87th minute, to deceive Gianluigi Donnarumma. Before coming to the Italian porter, you must of course evoke the duel won by Darwin Nuñez in front of Marquinhos, this cluster of players coming together in the axis for the Uruguayan, the delay of Nuno Mendes in the replacement. This accumulation of small errors allowed Harvey Elliott to be alone to cross his strike.

Donnarumma touches the ball well, but the hand is not firm enough to divert the ball out of the cages. The defeat mine, Donnarumma surely got up thinking about other evenings where he had bowed a little too easily in the Champions League. This season again, he has been capable of the best on certain matches, but has undermined nothing 8 goals on the 26 shots framed this season in the Champions League. A ratio that is too important, and too glaring flaws in this raised competition.

What future for Donnarumma?

Reading his performance is all the more cruel in the face, Alisson made, by his own admission, the match of his life. Has wiped 10 shots on top (for a total of 27 shots) and multiplied the high -level parades to disgust Dembélé, Barcola and Kvarartskhelia. Appointed man of the match by UEFA, the Brazilian porter allowed his team to make the perfect heist. Donnarumma did not allow his team to at least get the draw. Already against Arsenal and Atlético de Madrid this season, in the league, he had lacked solidity.

And disappointed Parisian supporters necessarily remember Real Madrid in 2022, when Benzema had come to chew the ball. Donnarumma seems to touch its glass ceiling in the Champions League, while the debate relates to a possible contract extension. Linked with the capital's club until 2026, the 26 -year -old goalkeeper does not put all the odds on his side. Especially since PSG closely follows Lucas Chevalier's performances with LOSC.
