  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Paris Saint-Germain were beaten 3-2 by Barcelona in a see-saw Champions League quarter-final first leg, with Donnarumma thrice at fault. First, he made a terrible attempt to claim a cross from Lamine Yamal and only pushed the ball into Raphinha's path. Then, he gave the ball away in build-up before Raphinha scored his second goal of the game, and was rooted to his line when Sergi Roberto floated a cross in for Andreas Christensen to score.

    WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    @WolfRMFC wrote: "DONNARUMMA is the worst goalkeeper I have ever seen."

    @Totalcristiano added: "Donnarumma when the Champions League lights are on has got to be the worst GK in the world."

    @YashRMFC said: "This gotta be the biggest hall of shame performance by Donnarumma."

    @Idoxvi followed their lead, adding: "Donnarumma is by far the worst UCL performer I've ever seen."

    @EuroExpert_ also weighed in: "I've said it before and I'll say it again: Donnarumma would have been one of the world's best GKs in the early 2010s, today he is sadly a liability."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    PSG go into next week's return leg in Spain well aware that they will need to score at least twice to guarantee victory, as one will only force extra time and penalties. Donnarumma's errors, then, could prove immensely costly.
