‘Shambles’: Ferdinand calls out PSG star over woeful performance against Barcelona
PSG star, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been called out over his performance against Barcelona in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg.
Despite playing in front of their home fans, PSG failed to make the most out of it losing 3-2 to Barcelona.
Barcelona open the scoring before PSG hit back with two goals, but the visitors struck twice late on to take a 3-2 lead ahead of the second leg coming up in Spain.
Ferdinand has now voiced out his frustrations over Gianluigi Donnarumma’s performance.
Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand couldn’t believe what he saw from the Italian during the match and didn’t hold back his thoughts.
“I don’t think Donnarumma covered himself in any glory at all, comes out and been a bit of a shambles”, he told TNT Sports.
“I think at times in the first half, a man of his experience, it’s a wonderful finish on the right foot by Raphinha.”
Not holding back, Ferdinand also slammed Donnarumma for failing to command his penalty area despite his height.
“He’s six-foot-seven or eight and looked like he was five-foot-nine coming out. “I don’t know how he loses his height but he’s at sixes and sevens.”
Donnarumma alongside his PSG teammates will be eager to overturn the tie when they visit Barcelona next week for the return leg.
