Gianluigi Donnarumma, author of a new high -flying performance in the Parisian goal, had the mask at the end of the meeting. The fault of the serious injury of Jordan Musiala, whose ankle gave in a shock with the Italian goalkeeper. The latter also appeared particularly shocked while the young German was still treated on the lawn.

And two days after the match, the former Milanese is still marked. “I am very shocked by what happened, I really did not intend to hurt Mussiala”he said in the columns of the Gazzetta dello Sport after reacting the first time on social networks. “All my prayers and my recovery wishes accompany you He had written.

Its clan also reacted to the controversy launched by Manuel Neuer after the match. “It was a situation where it was not necessary to intervene like that. It is a risk taking. He was ready to accept the risk of injuring his opponent, thus launched the German porter for the former Milanese. I went to see him and I said to him: “You don't want to go see our player? It was a question of respect, to go see him and to wish him good luck. He did it. Fair-play is still in order. I would have reacted differently. »»

“'Gigio' is a very sensitive boy”

“He didn't want to pretend that nothing had happened. 'Gigio' is a very sensitive boy. He would not have supported the scene and preferred to move away to let the doctors take care of Musiala, explained Vincenzo Raiola, his agent. Once in the locker room, he even turned on his phone. For all these years that we have been working together, he has never done it. Usually, he turned it off an hour before kick -off to focus on the match and the reinforcement afterwards. This time, he sent me a message to tell me that he was shaken and that he had not done it on purpose. »»

“We are all different and everyone behaves in their own way. In December, Gigio almost lost an eye during a duel with a Monaco player (Singo). And Neuer injured Higuain in 2014 in an international match ”he took care to add.
