Donnarumma fails to achieve unanimous support at PSG.
Gianluigi Donnarumma’s good performance against Arsenal (0-2) resulted in the defeat of the Italian defenders against PSG during the Champions League summer. From the point of view of Luis Enrique, the organizer of the competition at the Post Office.
The debate is in the gardens but is relaunched at Paris Saint-Germain. Since the start of the QSI era, this position has regularly been the subject of questions, the capital club having difficulty installing a last, completely reliable rampart in its cage. One of its gardens has attracted unanimous attention in recent years: Keylor Navas.
But the Costa Rican, after two good Parisian seasons, had been sidelined following the arrival in 2021 of Gianluigi Donnarumma (25 years old), a more boyish goalkeeper and considered one of the best in his position after being crowned The best of Euro 2021. Plus the three then, this decision is not too late. Because Italy is struggling to reach the level of its predecessor in the Champions League.
Donnarumma in danger
At fault on the two goals conceded by PSG against Arsenal (0-2) on Tuesday, Donnarumma added new lines to the list of his failures in C1.

The sports daily specifies that the native of Stavropol, who hardly impressed during his three matches played when « Gigio » was injured – against Girona (1-0), Reims (1-1) and Rennes (3-1 ). )-, might not be the main beneficiary of this decision. Even if Safonov logically needs time and more matches to convince, another goalkeeper is biding his time and should not be left out of the equation.
Current number 3, Arnau Tenas (23 years old) will perhaps have the opportunity to climb the hierarchy. The former Barcelona player has a quality kicking game that Luis Enrique really likes, a very important asset in the eyes of the Parisian coach. This means that they are not that far from the Level of their two competitors. The Spanish Olympic champion is not part of the competition, but is significantly behind and has a card to play in the coming weeks.
