However, Donnarumma’s cold but clear reaction has shocked the nation, highlighting the bravery of one of the world’s greatest goalkeepers.
It all started when Inzaghi, during a press conference, criticized Donnarumma’s performance at PSG, stating that he could no longer maintain the stability he had enjoyed in Serie A.

Under pressure from the Inter Milan coach, Donnarumma chose a calm but no less forceful response. In an interview, he stated: “I focus on my work and I don’t pay attention to non-construction words. The Italian team is our pride, and I always dedicate myself.” Donnarumma’s brief but confident response received strong support from fans and pundits alike. Many believe he showed great maturity, not only on the pitch but also in how he handled sensitive situations on the sidelines.
This incident not only heated up the atmosphere ahead of the Champions League final, but also raised questions about Inzaghi’s role in leading the Italian team going forward. Some experts have said that his controlled statements could affect his reputation and ability to collaborate with top stars like Donnarumma. Meanwhile, the PSG goalkeeper continues to prove his mettle with consistent form, becoming an inspiration to his teammates. This incident will likely be cited as a testament to the difference between words and actions in top-flight football.
