Despite regularly disappointing performances in the Champions League, the Italian goalkeeper seems to have no real competition for his position at PSG.
Since his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021, Gianluigi Donnarumma has never managed to achieve unanimous support. However, its 2023-2024 financial year was generally satisfactory. However, in the Champions League, the Italian goalkeeper is far from flawless.
Last Tuesday, against Arsenal, he was held responsible for the two goals he conceded. On the Gunners’ opening score, the former AC Milan goalkeeper completely missed his outing against Havertz. A quarter of an hour later, the last bastion of the Rouge et Bleu proved far too passive and failed to avoid the break goal.
Donnarumma not really threatened by Safonov
Could he lose his starting place? “In the short term, it seems difficult to see Gigio losing his number 1 place, replied Marc Mechenoua, reporter for the sports department of
Parisianduring a chat with readers. And it’s a status that Safonov has been fully aware of since his arrival. Still, if Donnarumma continues this kind of performance, there will inevitably be a temptation to see something else. But the Russian didn’t show much in the three matches he played against Girona, Reims and Rennes. »
The recruitment of Safonov may also raise questions since one of his main shortcomings appears to be the same as that of number 99 of the capital club. However, for Luis Enrique, having a last bulwark who has good footwork is fundamental.
