🤯 Blunder and heroics: Chevalier to PSG, Gigio to Premier League? | OneFootball

PSG won the Super Cup on an emotionally charged evening, but Chevalier's performance has reopened the debate on Donnarumma's future.

The new Parisian goalkeeper had a two-faced final, with decisive interventions and mistakes, immediately drawing attention to the Italian, who is now called upon to choose his next destination.

1️⃣ Chevalier, mistake then saves Van de Ven's penalty

A real rollercoaster ride was the game of the former Lille player, the announced protagonist of the final. Just arrived at PSG and already a starter, with Luis Enrique's recent statements contributing to increasing the pressure on him.

Chevalier started strong, offering a first half of high level, but in the second half came a very heavy mistake on Romero, made even more serious by the context of such an important game. The images of the direction immediately go to Luis Enrique, perplexed, not for the goalkeeper but almost certainly for the umpteenth tactical error committed by his team on a set piece.

However, in the decisive penalty lottery, the goalkeeper became the protagonist again, neutralizing Van de Ven's shot and contributing to the conquest of the first Super Cup in PSG history, redeeming himself - at least in part - from the mistake that had risked costing the defeat and staining his debut with a huge weight.

2️⃣ Donnarumma, what do you do now? Raiola doesn't take a stand

The comparison between the two goalkeepers arises spontaneously, and for almost everyone, Donnarumma - beyond the extraordinary season at PSG as an absolute protagonist - remains on a higher level than Chevalier. The club's decision to offer him a reduced renewal, rejected by the player, led to his exclusion from the squad, accompanied by Luis Enrique's strong words and the subsequent officialization of his farewell by the club. A decision resulting from the events of the last few days and the clear line taken by both the coach and the group.

Now what is more curious and important to understand is where the Italian goalkeeper will go to play. The agent - Enzo Raiola - after highlighting how Gigio feels like a victim of a decision made to protect the new number one, not for his shortcomings, indicated the Premier League as the ideal destination, both for sporting ambitions and professional respect. Serie A excluded - for the moment (?).

On social media, meanwhile, there is already nostalgia for our Italian goalkeeper. Despite the victory on penalties, many PSG fans did not hesitate to comment under Donnarumma's post, highlighting his importance. Weak with his feet? What an exaggerated criticism... Gigio has proven to be the strongest goalkeeper in the world with his saves, and for some, if he had been in goal yesterday, penalties would not have been taken at all.
