Legendary Keeper Weighs In

Zoff believes Donnarumma played a crucial role in PSG's Champions League triumph, claiming that the goalkeeper's contributions cannot be overlooked.

Donnarumma's Impact on PSG

In an exclusive interview with ANSA, shared by Corriere dello Sport, Zoff defended Donnarumma's skills despite recent criticisms about his footwork. He remarked, "If a keeper plays well with his feet, that's a plus. But the foundation of a goalie is to stop shots, and Donnarumma excels at that." Zoff hailed Donnarumma's pivotal role in PSG's historic win, where they captured their first Champions League title by defeating Inter 5-0 in the final. His big saves throughout the tournament were instrumental, particularly during the nail-biting semi-finals against Arsenal.

Confusion Surrounds the Decision

Zoff voiced his bewilderment, stating, "I cannot grasp what led to this situation. His performance was top-notch, making this decision all the more perplexing. It raises questions about potential contract issues or renewal negotiations, though I'm not privy to those details."

What Lies Ahead for Donnarumma?

As rumors swirl about Donnarumma's future, Zoff assured fans that he will not become a liability for the Italian national team, emphasizing that he remains a valuable player. The football community will be watching closely to see where this talented goalkeeper ends up next.
