Manchester City’s Gianluigi Donnarumma was one of the main protagonists of Italy’s 5-4 win over Israel on Monday.
Sandro Tonali’s stoppage time winner helped the Azzurri seal a spot in the World Cup qualifying play-offs, but it wasn’t such a great evening for his goalkeeper.
Corriere della Sera gave the Manchester City player a rating of only 5, which is the joint lowest in the game.
They note that the 26-year-old wasn’t the ‘usual Gigio’, indicating he made unusual errors.
Corriere dello Sport are more kinder, giving him 6.5 but making it clear that he made an ‘early blunder’ which led to an Israel goal in the first half.
Sky Italia rate Donnarumma’s performance at 6, claiming that he was ‘left feeling anxious’ in the game.
They believe that he cost Italy two goals and even ‘mistimed’ his passes.
Gazzetta dello Sport are kinder in their match notes. They rate the ex-PSG player at 6.5.
They state that the Manchester City player’s ‘shivers came down the pitch’, and impacted his teammates, but he did make two vital saves.
Perhaps it was a typical Donnarumma performance. He got credit due to his shot-stopping ability, but the Azzurri star was quite nervous on the ball.
