'It's karma!' - Gianluigi Donnarumma blasted for 'unsportsmanlike' conduct as goalkeeper…

Donnarumma's opposing number, Nikola Vasilj, has since opened up on the pre-shootout drama as he heavily criticised the Champions League winner for his conduct.

"Donnarumma tried to tear up my piece of paper on which I had noted down information on the Italian penalty takers, but fortunately the technical staff had a copy, we had prepared well for every eventuality. I didn't know they had a second sheet on the bench, but it's clear that nothing was left to chance," Vasilj said.

Vasilj explained his frustration with the exchange: "Honestly, I couldn't believe what was happening to me, it's the first time something like this has happened to me. With Donnarumma we started arguing, then I went to the referee to try to convince him that my opponent deserved a yellow card, his seemed to me to be truly unsportsmanlike behaviour. But in the end… I don't want to say too much… in the end we won and some say it's karma. And probably yes, there is something similar in this story."
