Gianluigi Donnarumma left his bags at PSG in the shoes of Keylor Navas' competitor in 2021. Having become undisputed number one goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022, Donnarumma saw Matvey Safonov overshadow him in the last two Parisian outings and in particular against Bayern Munich on Tuesday (0-1). A choice which surprised Italy and more particularly Michele Tossani, journalist for Tuttosport. No reason to expect a big downgrade.
Following on from the victory acquired last Friday against Toulouse FC (3-0), Luis Enrique made the choice to tenure Matvey Safonov in the PSG goals Tuesday evening for the shock of the 5th day of the regular season of Champions League. However, in the lair of Bayern Munich what is theAllianz Arena, the 25-year-old Russian goalkeeper was the author of a blunder on the only goal conceded by the Parisians.

Despite his good saves, particularly in front Jamal Musiala, Matvey Safonov missed his aerial exit, which resulted in the goal of Kim Min–jae. Interviewed at the microphone of Canal+ on the Russian goalkeeper's mistake after the defeat, Luis Enrique took his responsibilities and asked that he be burdened and not Safonov. “There is always this desire to look for someone to blame. If there's anyone to blame, it's me. I am responsible. There you go, you have found the culprit. From there, I accept all criticism.”
“However, I would be surprised if Donnarumma becomes number 2”
“I think Gianluigi Donnarumma is a great talent, but he hasn't progressed as expected. His problem is the kicking game. However, I don't understand the choice of Luis Enrique because Safonov is not flawless. However, I would be surprised if Donnarumma becomes number 2. Afterwards I don't know what Luis Enrique thinks. But for last night, I don't understand his choice. Donnarumma remains one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. ». declared Michele Tossanijournalist for Tuttosport and the Corriere della Serain comments relayed by Foot Market.
