An evening to quickly forget for Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian number one lost the semi-finals of the Nations League with Italy and was whistled for 90 minutes… by the Italian supporters in the San Siro.
“Donnarumma, piece of shit. You will never be welcome in Milan again!”. They are the insults that AC Milan supporters painted on a banner and hung from a bridge before the European champion’s game against Spain (1-2). Still angry at Donnarumma’s departure to PSG after the Milan youth product declined several contract offers.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper had already indicated in advance that he expected a hot night in San Siro, where he returned to PSG for the first time since his departure.
“Milan and AC Milan are an important part of my life”, ‘Gigio’ had said at the beginning of this week. “I’m looking forward to it, but I hope there will be no negative reactions from the public. I will forever be a Milan fan and have always given everything for the club, right up to the end. If negative things do happen, I would be very sorry. We are playing a very important game, so we hope the fans can help us.”
Donnarumma’s call, however, was not followed up. Some of the Italian supporters hooted the hero of the European Championship (he saved the decisive English penalty in the final) at every touch of the ball. And beforehand they had already shouted: “You jerk, you are not allowed to touch these posts anymore!”.
To make matters worse, Donnarumma egg started after a blunder at a 0-1 deficit. The Italian number one had luck on his side as he let a punch from Marcos Alonso slip through his gloves against the post and Leonardo Bonucci was able to turn the ball just before the line. In the end, the Italian conceded a second goal before half-time, causing him to concede more than one goal for the very first time in 37 international matches. While the betting time was great at Meridian, it was the opposite for our dear goalkeeper. We wish that in the future these scenarios be considered more serious and be punished by FIFA.
