PSG press review: inside Donnarumma’s exit and Vitinha’s penalty secrets | OneFootball

This Saturday, August 16, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding revelations about Gianluigi Donnarumma's departure (26-year-old goalkeeper), still training while waiting to leave for Manchester City. There's also Vitinha's (25-year-old midfielder) missed penalty kick against Tottenham on Wednesday, his second consecutive failure. As well as the successful debut of Ligue1+ last night.

Donnarumma's agent has spoken out to complain and highlight the "faults" of PSG in the discussion for an extension, but there are also indications of a very good offer that was made but refused. As always, you need to hear all the versions to get an idea. In any case, coach Luis Enrique mentioned a sporting choice, and Lucas Chevalier (23 years old) has arrived to replace him. We need to turn the page with as little time and tension as possible.

As for Vitinha, it's indeed a second consecutive miss after only having successes. It's painful, but it can happen. Especially since his strategy worked, the goalkeeper being clearly caught off guard. The frame was narrowly missed, there's nothing dramatic. Especially with fatigue, always to be taken into account. We didn't really need a focus on this incident. There are other shooters, but Vitinha will likely be able to shoot again.

Finally, it's good news to see that Ligue1+ has generally succeeded in its first outing. There is a need for stability in French football, as well as revenue and supporters who want to subscribe. A fair price is needed, which is rather the case, and interesting content. The first evening was encouraging, it will be necessary to continue. We also enjoyed seeing Rennes win 1-0 while playing most of the match with 10 men against Olympique de Marseille.
