🎙️ Donnarumma taking too many risks? Neuer and Eberl respond clearly | OneFootball

The severe injury of Jamal Musiala has overshadowed the FC Bayern's exit in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup against PSG. Afterwards, both Manuel Neuer and sports director Max Eberl commented on the scene and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

"It's tragic," said Eberl in a media round after the game, Musiala is "extremely down, extremely sad [...] We love him for his joy of playing, now such a setback - that's extremely difficult for him, but we're there for him as a family."

Donnarumma, who had reacted affectedly himself, should not be attributed "zero intention", emphasized the 51-year-old, "but he didn't show any consideration. If I jump onto the lower leg with 100 kilos and while sprinting... No accusation, but he's taking that risk, in a certain intensity."

Bayern's captain Manuel Neuer also criticized his counterpart in the PSG goal in the mixed zone after the game: "With Jamal, it's a situation where you take the risk. A situation where I think you don't have to go in like that. But okay, we're keeping our fingers crossed that it's not that bad, but it will definitely be bad. To jump in like that is already risky. You're simply taking the opponent's injury into account. And then nothing happens afterwards."

Neuer was also bothered by the behavior of the PSG goalkeeper immediately after the scene. According to his own statement, Neuer had called Donnarumma to account on the field: "I went to him: 'Don't you want to go over there?' Jamal is lying there, he will probably have to stay in the hospital now, I think it's only respectful to go over, wish him all the best and apologize a bit. After that, he also went to Jamal."

After the game, the Italian spoke up on social media. On Instagram, the goalkeeper wrote: "All my prayers and best wishes are with you, Jamal Musiala." Donnarumma also shared a picture of himself, with his hand in front of his face, walking off the field with two PSG staff members during the game.
