Donnarumma criticised after Man City 2-4 PSG despite late penalty save
Gianluigi Donnarumma faced significant media criticism following Manchester City's 4-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Despite a late penalty save, the goalkeeper was faulted for several defensive errors throughout the match.
Why it matters
High-profile performances in the Champions League significantly impact the reputations of elite athletes and the standings of major European football clubs.
It was an evening to forget for Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma against his former employers as Manchester City fell to a 4-2 defeat at home against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night, earning criticism from various media outlets despite saving a late Ferran Torres penalty.
Enzo Maresca's City were picked apart by the back-to-back European champions at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening: Donnarumma was beaten at his near post by a low, long-range effort from Desire Doue after a brilliant end-to-end team move in the 13th minute. Ousmane Dembele nodded in a second for the visitors less than two minutes later.
Vitinha made it three shortly after the half-hour mark, whilst Achraf Hakimi had hit the woodwork moments prior.
