Champions League: Towering Donnarumma full of anticipation for duel with Inter

Praise from the opponent, huge jubilation from your own fans and the anticipation for a Champions League final with many acquaintances-everything went with Gianluigi Donnarumma. With outstanding parades, the star goalkeeper Paris Saint-Germain only kept in the game and finally enabled the 2-1 win against Arsenal. Now the national goalkeeper of Italy is going against Inter Milan in the final on May 31st in Munich.

“I am excited that I will challenge many of my teammates from the national team, it will be exciting. I am already thinking about meeting friends, my old goalkeeper coach,” said Donnarumma at Amazon Prime. “It gets hard against Inter, but very nice.”

From Arsenal there is praise for Donnarga’s performance

The semi -finals against Arsenal was also hard. 11:19 Goals, 4:21 flanks, 2: 6 corners, 10:20 dribbling and a possession of 46 percent – the French were inferior to the English in almost all relevant statistical categories. But in the end it was 2-1 for the hosts.

And Donnarumma had the largest share in that. “When you look at who was your best player in the two games, it was her goalkeeper,” said Arsenal coach Mikel Areta. “He identified the difference for her.” Midfielder Declan Rice said: “It was one of these nights when the goalkeeper had incredible parades.”

Donnarumma about Mbappé: “Spirit has changed with us”

In the first year after the farewell to Superstar Kylian Mbappé zu Real Madrid, Donnarumma is now one of the biggest names in the PSG squad, which had previously placed on the very large Starpower for years. Neither Mbappé, Neymar, Lionel Messi nor Zlatan Ibrahimovic won the title in the Champions League with Paris. The fact that there is now a chance for the second time in the club’s history five years after the final defeat against FC Bayern Munich has to do with the new approach of many young and compatible players.

“The spirit has changed with us. We are now doing much more than one team. We play for each other,” said Donnarumma when he was asked about Mbappé. “Sure, we miss him, he is one of the best players in the world, and I only wish him the best because he is a good friend. The team is currently closely together, it is going well. We won the European Championship with Italy. That makes the difference in every team.” However, a goalkeeper at its level also helps enormously.
