The end of 2024 was marked by a rather surprising episode concerning Gianluigi Donnarumma, victim of a very bad shock during the meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco (2-4). Enough to further fuel the debates around arbitration, with François Letexier who is singled out for his decision not to give any credit to this contentious action.
The controversy has raged for several days. Because if everyone was impatiently awaiting the clash between the PSG and theAS Monaco in Ligue 1the result took second place. Everyone only talks about the action between Wilfried Singo et Gianluigi Donnarummawhose swollen face quickly went around the football world. Disfigured, the guardian of PSG left the Principality with 10 staples on his face, but everything seems to be going well for him today.
“The referee spoke of an act of play, that’s how he defined it”
In a long interview given to Sports Radiothe agent of the Italian goalkeeper PSG spoke out on this controversy for the first time. “ The referee spoke of an act of play, that's how he defined it. Then Singo and the Monegasque coach came to the locker room to check Donnarumma's conditions, but a mistake like that at this level… » said Enzo Raiola.
“These are mistakes that we see in the lower categories, it’s really strange to see them in Ligue 1”
« This should have been avoided, it was really strange that the player didn't even try to avoid the goalkeeper. These are faults that we see in the lower categories, it's really strange to see them in Ligue 1 » assured the goalkeeper of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Note that the PSG communicated about the state of health of his goalkeeper, who will obviously be absent for several days to treat “ facial trauma with multiple wounds ”, which earned him around ten stitches.
