Gianluigi Donnarumma is still shining for Paris Saint-Germain, despite still carrying a scar from a terrible face injury sustained in December.
Italy International played a key role while PSG dropped Liverpool out of the Champions League in the 16th stage and he would be in the goal when Aston Villa visit Parc des princess tomorrow night in the first part of the quarterfinals.
The incident happened on December 18, 2024 during the PSG game against Monaco.
Donnarumma came out to block Wilfried Singa’s shot and succeeded, but unfortunately, the Monaco defender accidentally caught a goalkeeper in the face as he tried to push over him, opening a deep gass on his right cheek.
The PSG medical staff was called immediately and after a long treatment, Donnarumma was removed after 22 minutes and was replaced by Matvey Safonov.

Singo was on a yellow card, but avoided a further punishment with Judge Francois Letexier, who believed that the contact was random.
PSG chief Luis Enrique refused to criticize the Letxier, saying Bein Sports: “Cold decisions? I can’t do anything, I couldn’t see the shop, but when you see such a shop, it’s always difficult.
“Players don’t intend to hurt. It’s hard to judge such a match.”
Singo quickly apologized on social networks, saying, “My gesture was obviously not intentional, but after that I was able to see that he had a significant face injury.
“I wish you a good recovery.”
The former AC Milan man required 10 staples to be placed around the wound.

Donnarumma returned to the action of the first team 5 January, against Monaco, in the champions of Trophee des. Singo did not play because he was suspended.
