The tears of Donnarumma: the clash with Musiala, the opponent’s injury, the desperation of the goalkeeper

The referee has just granted the recovery of the first half of Paris Saint-Germain-Bayern Munich, a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. Everything suggests that we will go to rest without further emotions (the result is 0-0), but something terrible is about to happen. A ball that slowly flows towards the Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma He becomes a magnet for the Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala who tries to reach him despite the opposition of the opposing defender Willian Pacho.

The National Gigio comes out well and grabs the ball, unfortunately, however, his race ends up on Musiala’s legs. The crash reveals the worst of the finals, the left ankle, left under Donnarumma’s body, is evidently turned innaturally.

Immediately noticed the serious injury procured – without wanting to – at the twenty -two year old, Donnarumma throws himself to his knees and breaks out in a cry full of despair.

Meanwhile, Musiala’s screams freeze the Atlanta stadium. The doctors of Bayern Munich understand the situation and require the immediate intervention of the stretcher who, a few moments later, will accompany the unfortunate player off the pitch.

Comrades and opponents get their hands in the hair, Hakimi struggles to look. Someone tries to console Gigio, but the return to the changing rooms is sad and The goalkeeper really seems in shock.

The game will end with the success of the transalpines 2-0, but with the Italian goalkeeper submitted by the whistles (truly unjustified) throughout the second half. For him also the attacks of the opponents. «You can’t go out like this: if you do, it means that you are aware of being able to hurt your opponent. I went to him and I said to him: “Don’t you want to see how our player is?” It is a matter of respect, “said the goalkeeper of the Germans Manuel Neuer. «Donnarumma did not go to wish the best to Musiala, he did it only later. The correctness is always important: I would have reacted differently ».

On Instagram the words of the blue goalkeeper: “All my prayers and my wishes are with you, Jamal Musiala”.

Donnarumma and Musiala had been protagonists, for a completely different reason, even during the German-Italy match of 23 March 2025. In that challenge, lost by the Azzurri 3-1, the German had managed to mock the extreme defender of Castellammare di Stabia after taking advantage of a colossal distraction of the entire Italian rearguard, intent on protesting with the referee.

Donnarumma’s face still has the signs of a game clash of which he has been a victim. Last December he received a kick in the face of Singo del Monaco, who cost him numerous stitches.
