At the end of the Liverpool-Manchester City match, Donnarumma lost his cool after being attacked by an opposing supporter.

The situation of Manchester City in England annoys. Even more so as the Citizens are a hit and have just had an eighth consecutive success against Liverpool. Found guilty of violating more than 100 rules of financial fair play and of fraud involving more than a billion euros between 2009 and 2018, the Mancunian club is at great risk.

And this has not escaped the attention of Premier League followers and fans. Firstly the Liverpool supporters. If their team was soundly beaten (0-3) at Anfield by the
Skybluessupporters of Reds did not fail to remind their adversaries of their situation. “You bunch of cheaters, you know very well what you are”, “You haven’t won a trophy since 1976”chanted Anfield for most of the match.

Words that did not please Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian doorman was also treated as “cheater” by an opposing supporter when entering the locker room. Visibly annoyed, the former Parisian backed away to confront this supporter. A short exchange but tense enough for security to intervene and escort the Mancunian goalkeeper.

While waiting to know the exact nature of the sanctions imposed on Manchester City, the club remains leader of the Premier League with six victories in as many matches.
