PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has come under fire in the French press for his part in Atletico Madrid’s last-gasp win at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.
The Ligue 1 giants’ disappointing Champions League campaign continued as a second defeat in four games left them in the elimination zone.
Warren Zaire Emery’s opener was quickly canceled out by the visitors’ Nahuel Molina in the first half of a largely disappointing match.
But there was drama at the death when Angel Correa finished off a counter in the final minute of extra time to silence the home crowd.
The Argentinian received the ball on the right side of the penalty area before turning left and just managing to pass Donnarumma, who had ample reach to the ball with his hand.
The French press believes that Gianluigi Donnarumma should have done better with the Atletico winner
Donnarumma was dubbed ‘the invisible hand’ and received a brutal review in L’Equipe
It was by no means an unstoppable effort from Correa and the French outlet L’Equipe were far from impressed.
One headline called the Italian ‘the invisible hand’, while he received a rating of just 3/10 for his performance that evening.
They added that it was a goal he ‘could and should have saved’ and that a goalkeeper in Europe’s top eight should not do that.
L’Equipe also believes that this is a mistake that could now lead to questions about his position as number 1.
Donnarumma played ten games for PSG this season, conceding eleven goals.
