Sitting on a large sofa, the thumb of the right hand raised, the right cheek covered with a thick bandage, his little dog under the left arm: Gianluigi Donnarumma, the PSG goalkeeper, seriously hit in the face by the Monegasque’s right foot Singo, on Wednesday, during the advanced match of the 16th day of Ligue 1, published a smiling photo on his social networks this Thursday noon.
The Italian suffered facial trauma during this action. “It’s impressive, but it will fade,” confides a specialist in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Under his post, there are numerous comments of support. Some are sometimes accommodating, notably those signed Fabian Ruiz, the Spanish midfielder: “Now you’re more handsome brother” or Alexandre Letellier, the club’s former goalkeeper: “You’re more handsome like that”. Each time they are accompanied by smileys and emojis of support and affection to show, beyond their touch of humor, deep support for their Italian friend.
Other Parisians also wrote a short comment, like Achraf Hakimi: “warrior”, accompanied by a heart or Milan Skriniar.
PSG or the Italian selection also posted a message. David De Gea, Fiorentina goalkeeper, too. In total, this Thursday afternoon, Donnarumma had received more than 2,000 comments of support.
A little earlier in the day, AS Monaco had published a press release to deplore the racist attacks to which Singo had been a victim since Wednesday evening’s match.
