Gianluigi Donnarumma endured a difficult night at the Santiago Bernabéu as Manchester City suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The Italian goalkeeper conceded three goals from Fede Valverde and quickly became the target of strong criticism across Europe. Several media outlets pointed to his responsibility on key moments of the match, reviving memories of past mistakes at the famous Madrid stadium.
The English and Spanish press were particularly harsh in their assessments. The Manchester Evening News noted that “he could arguably have done better on at least one of the goals,” while Spanish newspaper Marca questioned his repeated struggles in Madrid, asking: “What is it about the Bernabéu that makes Donnarumma look so insignificant?”
Although the goalkeeper managed to save a penalty from Vinicius Junior, many observers believe his overall performance fell short of expectations, leaving the Italian under intense scrutiny ahead of the return leg.

Why blame the city goalkeeper? Why can’t you blame the coach you use a formation that no high profile coach could use against team like Madrid.. Using semenyo, Silva and Rodri was like leaving the entire mildfield pressure on Rodri, because pep started two players who their pressing rate is very low. Semenyo and silva. The team broke down from the mildfield because semenyo and Silva was playing number 10 role.. Yesterday we noticed that pep plays three players in the NO 9 position haaland, semenyo and Silva. Pep needs to go if we can’t qualified over Madrid because he was the one who spoiled the formation. Look at the time pep brought in Reijnders, we saw that the mildfield hot composed and later nouri the game changed absolutely.. At times choaches make mistakes in selecting players for a tough match..

with that first goal, Don't think that Danaruma was stupid like people think! if he was by bad lack to challenge and fail reach the ball, it would be a straight red card and a penalty which would give a very open advantage to Madrid and remember the game was still 0-0 and still in the first half. you would better give anyway a goal and fight back

you can’t blame Donnarumma for the loss you expected a win in Madrid with that leacky midfield and flowery performance from our wing players(Doku&Salvihno)with their unnecessary dribbles plus the troubled Nico O’Reilly on left back…our manager(Pep Guardiola)is to blame for his fruitless tactics eg:-the 1st eleven was woeful and the substitution was poor

if not for him Madrid would have won more than four goals
But he has already made the damage by allowing three goal in within 40 minutes! He is stupid!

You are correct. He is tired of winning. He won everything, there's less hunger in him as he has been before... he should go!

Pep useless line up caused all these nonsense. starting Duku, Savinho and Semanyo at the same time, left the midfield vulnerable, kept all his other quality players on the bench, Pep should live city, he is tired of winning, is over doing things
