Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma saved a penalty for Paris Saint-Germain against RB Leipzig and his former Milan teammate Andre Silva in the Champions League.
The 22-year-old has been dropped more often than not in favour of Keylor Navas at PSG this season.
He was chosen to take the gloves for the Champions League trip to RB Leipzig, only his second ever career appearance in the competition.
Andre Silva stepped up to take the spot-kick, but was denied by his former Milan teammate Donnarumma.
That was the first penalty Donnarumma has ever faced at Paris Saint-Germain or in the Champions League.
This means each of the last four spot-kicks faced by Donnarumma at club and international level have failed to go in.
Only four of the last 10 penalties have gone into the back of the net.
Of course, Donnarumma’s penalty prowess is well known, as he was instrumental in Italy’s UEFA EURO 2020 triumph during penalty shoot-out victories over Spain in the semi-final and England in the Final.
But.. but milan fans were saying maignan was better? Milan is and will be a small club. Forza Juventus!!
Never seen such a badly shot penalty, too easy for donnaruma
@veritas, agree, most professional keepers save that penalty if they dive the right way.
Way to jinx him, FI !
In the 92nd Minute, RB Leipzig score on a PK.
@Brodo: He saved a terrible penalty, that’s all. Maignan is still better.
Brodo, a Juve fan drooling all over Dollarumma. He’s not even your player. Pathetic.
I prefer Maignan – I still think Donnarumma is a top keeper but his distribution was always quite slow and often poor for Milan.
@DB Milan…
Donnarumma is, in fact, becoming, if he is not already a premier PK shot stopper.
Maignam is very good. Better tgan Donnarumma? No.
@DB Milan…
Have some good Italian gelato…it may sweeten yourr disposition.
Can’t wait for him to join Juve
Donnarumma is the number 1 penalty stopper in world football!
He’s very good on pens and a top keeper all round, but I’m more than happy with Maignan as a replacement (apart from the injury!) as his distribution is much quicker and more accurate. Donna’s always let him down at Milan but there are signs it’s improving.
@tOm: Massive difference in distribution for sure. Maignan looks like Ederson in comparison.
