Donnarumma left alone in front of the world, Courtois defends him against Neuer

Opinions remain divided, with the Italian blamed by many for the injury

Gianluigi Donnarumma is blamed by many for Jamal Musiala's serious injury, which will undoubtedly mark the first major Club World Cup. At the end of the first half, the goalkeeper injured the German international after a heavy blow in the penalty area. Now the creative talent is expected to be absent from the fields at least until the end of the season. On social networks, the guard wrote: "All my prayers and best wishes for a successful recovery are with you".

Meanwhile, one of the best goalkeepers of our time, Thibaut Courtois, responded to criticism that his Italian counterpart was to blame for what happened:

“I think it’s too much to blame Donnarumma for Musiala’s injury. Goalkeepers throw themselves for the ball and strikers don’t stop when they attack. It’s just bad luck. Manuel Neuer will probably feel more hurt because he’s from the same team, but Donnarumma is not to blame.”

The Belgian reacted to Manuel Neuer’s open criticism of the PSG goalkeeper:

“It was a situation that you don’t have to go into like that. It’s taking a risk. He was willing to take the risk of injuring your opponent.

I went to him and said, ‘Don’t you want to go see our player?’ It’s a matter of respect to go there and wish him all the best. Then he did. Fair play is always part of that. I would have reacted differently.” |BGNES
