The PSG goalkeeper speaks in the press room on the eve of the Champions League match: “Maignan is a great goalkeeper, there is respect”. Luis Enrique: “The Rossoneri can change their structure”
An exciting match, inevitably. Facing Milan will be special for Gigio Donnarumma who made his professional debut eight years ago with the Rossoneri shirt. Today he is the goalkeeper of PSG, after a painful and contested farewell. But in Paris, blue now feels at home again. Without forgetting what happened: “I gave everything to Milan.” And not even what it will be tomorrow: “A challenge that can decide what type of races the others will be in a group where everyone can finish in first place”, as Luis Enrique underlined.

Meanwhile, Gigio looks at the present and the past and at that relationship interrupted by the controversy with his former fans: “In Paris – he says – I was welcomed well, even by the fans. It was difficult at first because I didn’t have my friends. I left many in Milan. And I didn’t speak the language. But now things are better with French and I have friends here too.” The one with the Rossoneri fans, however, remains a black point: “And it’s sorry – adds the goalkeeper – because I gave my all to Milan, until the last match. It’s normal for criticism to be very unpleasant, but now there’s no time to think about this. There will be a way. Now I’m focused on a match that will be difficult and exciting. I don’t want to get caught up in the emotions, which will be many, because I will find old friends again, after so many years together. But I need to stay focused and give everything.”

Luis Enrique is already focused, with clear ideas about a Milan that has studied in depth. Not only this season, but also in the past one: “They usually play with the 4-3-3, they do well with and without the ball, they know how to manage both phases of the game well. But we know that they can also play with five at the back: last year they did it against Tottenham, and also this year, if I remember, against Genoa. So we know that they can change structure and it is an option that we take into account. We are ready for this eventuality, without giving up our way of attacking.” And if he had to choose who to remove from Milan between Giroud, Leao or Maignan, Lucho glosses over it jokingly: “Nobody, otherwise they’ll get angry and that’s not the case.”
