NATIONS - Gianluigi Donnarumma's nightmarish evening

Bad times for Gianluigi Donnarumma (22). Forced to alternate with Keylor Navas in the goals of Paris SG where he landed this summer, the goalkeeper had a bad evening this Wednesday in Milan, unable to prevent the defeat of Italy in the semi-final of the League of Nations against Spain (1-2).

He only made two saves, including a scoring on an opportunity from Marcos Alonso at the end of the match (78th), but he seems short on the two goals of Ferran Torres.

Above all, in the first twenty minutes of play, the goalkeeper almost conceded a gag goal, all alone, experiencing the worst difficulties in controlling a strike with effect from Alonso (19th). It must be said that the he, who was celebrating his 36th caps with the Nazionale, was not really put in the best condition in the game. 

Started at San Siro from the warm-up, then at the announcement of the team compositions by the speaker, the native of Castellammare di Stabia, the former of the AC Milan, continued to hear whistles during the game at each ball hit.

Under these conditions, the Italian sports press forgives his average match, La Gazzetta regretting for example the behavior of these tifosi, preferring, like Corriere dello Sport, to emphasize the song to his glory at the very end of the match in a sector of the stadium.

The Corriere della Sera denounces "unfair whistles" and relay the disappointment of Roberto Mancini.

“I didn't like the whistles against Donnarumma. I believe that such a situation could have been avoided, ” said Squadra Azzurra coach at a post-match press conference. Small consolation prize, the match for 3rd place on Sunday will be played in Turin.
