Donnarumma pulls no punches on PSG

At 26, Gianluigi Donnarumma, now a goalkeeper for Manchester City, reflected on his time at Paris Saint-Germain in L’Équipe. Proud of his achievements with Paris, notably the Champions League victory, the Italian international believes that his story with the capital club "ended well," despite his departure.

Donnarumma: "I have nothing to regret for all those years spent in Paris"

"And with Paris Saint-Germain, was it a love story too? Yes, a beautiful story, an important stage of my career. Now, I'm starting a new phase of my life, and I'm happy about it. You know what they say: love stories usually end badly... For me, it ended well. I have nothing to regret for all those years spent in Paris. I'm proud of what I accomplished, of what we accomplished together. It was a difficult but magnificent journey. We achieved many victories, crowned by success in the Champions League, so I'm really happy with what I accomplished in Paris."

Donnarumma: "Everyone makes their own choices. Paris will always remain in my heart"

How did you experience it, feel it? Is there sadness, anger, a sense of injustice? No, as I said, I'm happy with what I accomplished. Everyone makes their own choices. Paris will always remain in my heart because the supporters gave me so much, the club gave me so much. It was a very beautiful adventure. Now, I'm turning the page. I'm at Manchester City, and I'm proud to be here. I want to make history with this club too, win many titles, give my all, and wear the jersey with pride."

Gianluigi Donnarumma has never stopped cultivating a special bond with the supporters of Paris Saint-Germain. Despite sometimes contested beginnings, the Italian managed to be accepted thanks to his decisive performances, but also through his sincere attitude towards the Parc des Princes audience.

Until his last match, the cheers from the stands profoundly impacted him, and he wanted to emphasize how much this recognition meant to him.

In leaving, he not only leaves the memory of a reliable goalkeeper but also of a player who respected the jersey and the fans. His saves in major matches, his role in winning the Champions League, all contribute to an undeniable legacy. It remains to be seen if this strong and emotional mark is enough to place Donnarumma among the legends of PSG.
