Starting with Italy against Belgium during the 3rd day of the Nations League this Thursday evening, Gigio Donnarumma once again went through a trying evening. With the Squadra Azzurra leading 2-0 and seemingly in control of the match, a decisive turning point came with the expulsion of an Italian player, leaving the team reduced to 10 against 11.
Faced with a Belgium invigorated by this numerical superiority, Donnarumma was under constant pressure. First, he was caught with a missile on a well-executed free kick combination, letting the ball cross his line. Moments later, while trying to keep his team afloat, he was shot at point blank range at his near post.
This scenario unfortunately cost Donnarumma another opportunity to keep his clean sheet, a goal which seems increasingly difficult to achieve for the PSG goalkeeper. These recurring difficulties risk weighing on the confidence of the goalkeeper, already in the spotlight after several mixed performances with Paris.
While the Italian defense shows signs of feverishness, Donnarumma will have to redouble its efforts to regain serenity and once again establish itself as a fortress in the cages of the Squadra Azzurra.
