A clumsy intervention by Gigio Donnarumma handed victory to Atletico Madrid at the home of PSG at the last moment: now Luis Enrique’s men are in very bad shape in the Champions League standings. Qualification is at risk, just as the starting place between the posts for the Italian team is at risk.
It was off to a good start PSG against theAtletico Madrid at the Parc des Princes: the home team’s dominance resulted in the initial lead scored by Zaire-Emery in the 14th minute, but after four minutes the guests immediately equalized with Molina. Finally – when the match seemed to have ended at 1-1 – a faulty intervention by Gigio Donnarumma on a not irresistible shot by Angel Correa gave Simeone’s men a very precious victory to lift them up in the mega group standings Champions Leagueinstead sending PSG to hell.
Donnarumma gets PSG into trouble in the Champions League
The French now – halfway through the calendar, with the last four matches remaining – not only see direct qualification to the round of 16 through binoculars, but with the 4 points gained so far which are worth the current 25th place they would also be out of the positions they are in access the playoffs. A real disaster for Luis Enriquewho now also has to face the controversy relating to the choice of Donnarumma as starter this evening. Yes, because it wasn’t at all certain that the goalkeeper of the Italian national team was playing between the posts: there was some doubt after in the last championship match won against Lens he had instead taken the field from the 1st minute Matvey Safonovwhich many have already been calling for for a few weeks, especially after the blue’s disastrous performance against Arsenal (two uncertainties on both goals from the Gunners).
Safonov’s shadow on Donnarumma: Gigio could lose his job
With the shadow of Keylor Navas gone, the man from Stabia now finds himself that of the 25-year-old Russian, purchased in the summer from Krasnodar for 20 million precisely to create internal competition for the role. Safonov had already started three games at the start of the season, but only because Donnarumma stopped due to injury in September. The match against Lens was the first in which Gigio sat on the bench by choice of the coach and now those who push for the Russian to play will find new arguments in the clumsy intervention of the Italy goalkeeper in the last moment of PSG-Atletico Madrid. A very heavy duck, which could be a tombstone on the French’s European season.

The Champions League table at the halfway stage: PSG would be eliminated
After the final whistle, PSG fans on social media didn’t wait long to tear apart Donnarumma, who had recently complained about the treatment he received from the media: “In the last period, since I left Italy, I have been a bit too targeted, this is a bit annoying. But now I have broad shoulders, I’ve been playing for many years so I know how it works and I know what I have to do to stay in my bubble“. The next few days will not be easy for him.
