Donnarumma’s Struggles Continue: Doubts Arise at PSG After Arsenal Loss

In the world of Ligue 1, Gianluigi Donnarumma’s abilities as a goalkeeper are widely acknowledged; however, his performances in the UEFA Champions League often raise eyebrows. During a recent match against Arsenal on Tuesday, the Italian goalkeeper faltered, conceding two goals that have once again ignited debates about his reliability. Unlike his predecessor, Keylor Navas, who enjoyed strong support during his time at PSG, Donnarumma’s standing within the club remains uncertain.

Luis Enrique has yet to establish a definitive pecking order among the goalkeepers at PSG, though it appears that Donnarumma currently has the coach’s backing. This situation could change rapidly, especially given the mixed feelings about the Italian’s performance among fans and club officials alike.

Donnarumma’s Struggles Against Arsenal

After missing matches against Gérone, Reims, and Rennes due to injury, Gianluigi Donnarumma returned to the pitch against Arsenal, but his comeback did not go as planned. On the first goal scored by Kai Havertz, Donnarumma misjudged his timing. The second goal, netted by Bukayo Saka, saw the goalkeeper fail to read a set-piece accurately, despite it being taken from a considerable distance from his goal.

A Divided Fanbase at PSG

According to reports from L’Equipe, Donnarumma’s recent missteps are unlikely to improve his standing at PSG. The goalkeeper, who was part of the victorious Italy squad in the 2021 European Championship, has never fully won over the club’s fans, unlike his former rival, Keylor Navas, who was consistently praised during his tenure.
