Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois defended Gianluiggi Donnarumma after Manuel Neuer strongly criticized the Italian goalkeeper

The Parisian goalkeeper is targeted for his role in the terrible injury of Jamal Musiala during the quarter-final of the Club World Cup between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Musiala had to be evacuated on stretcher in the first period following an unusual ankle injury.

The German midfielder was evacuated on the stretcher in the first period during the Bayern 2-0 defeat against PSG in the quarter-final of the Club World Cup, following a collision with Donnarumma. Musiala suffered a lot from her tracked ankle, and the young player's condition deeply disturbed the players on the field.

Donnarumma should not be held responsible for the state of Musiala., According to Courtois

After the match, the veteran goalkeeper of Bayern, Neuer, did not hesitate to criticize the PSG porter, qualifying the tackle of the Italian as “reckless”. Courtois, on the other hand, defended the PSG star, saying that Donnarumma should not be held responsible for the state of Musiala.

“A little excessive”

Addressing journalists, the Belgian said:
“Introducing Musiala's injury to Donnarumma seems excessive to me. The guards are very demanding. The attackers are not bothering either when they annoy us. It's bad luck. It will hurt him even more because he is in his team, but Donnarumma is not to be blamed. ”

The 26-year-old will be back on the ground next Wednesday for the semi-final of the Club World Cup between the reigning European champions and Real Madrid.
