Athletistic/Football. CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev assessed the performance of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the 2024 European Championship.

“Many people tend to blame the goalkeepers for missed goals, but in the match against Switzerland, Donnarumma cannot ask any questions. He had a great tournament despite a weak team. He is one of the best, if not the best, in his position at the Euro. I think he and Mamardashvili are in the top 3.

Without Donnarumma, Italy would have conceded more goals and been eliminated in the group stage. In the episode with Modric’s goal, I don’t think he made a mistake. He did his job. In such situations, defenders must protect the goalkeeper. But it happened the way it happened,” Akinfeev said on the YouTube channel. “It’s football, brother!”

Let us recall that the Italian national team completed its participation in Euro 2024 after losing in the 1/8 finals against Switzerland with a score of 2:0.
