He returned stronger … and with a scar. Since his impressive shock against Monaco in December, Gianluigi Donnarumma seems to be transformed. Like a fictional hero, the PSG porter asserted himself as an insurmountable wall. Wednesday, May 7, against Arsenal, he was still one of the great craftsmen of the Parisian qualification in the Champions League final, delivering a very high level performance.
Questioned by Prime Video Italia after the meeting, Donnarumma returned to his progress. The Parisian porter, regularly criticized for his ground services, says he worked his weak points. “I try to work on my weak points, I think I have improved,” he said. Relaunched on his scar, inherited from a violent shock with Wilfried Singo last December during a match against AS Monaco, he admitted that she had an impact on her state of mind:
“I seem to be a little more mean, it made me more aggressive!” »»
His performance against Arsenal only strengthened this impression of transformation. Donnarumma stood out in the first minutes of the semi-final return, diverting a powerful strike from Martin Odegaard. “It is a very nice stop, the ball has passed in the middle of the legs of one of my teammates. I'm happy “he soberly commented.
What future at PSG?
The PSG porter therefore seems to approach the end of the season in the best conditions. But beyond his performances, the question of his future in Paris begins to emerge. At the end of the contract in 2026, Donnarumma soon entered the last year of his commitment with the club. Asked about it, he was relaxed: “There is time to talk about extension. They know how I'm here. The decision belongs to the club, all you have to do is sign. »»
In the meantime, the Italian giant can focus on the upcoming final. With a dating in a state of grace, PSG can nourish solid ambitions. A scar as a trigger, and perhaps a trophy as a culmination.
