Despite PSG's 3-2 loss on the night, they advanced with a 5-4 aggregate. Manager Luis Enrique described Donnarumma as 'Sensationnel', capturing the vital role he played. PSG has had remarkable form this season, yet this game was marked by drama, as Donnarumma deflected potential comeback goals and continued to solidify his reputation in European football after a formidable performance.
âDonnarumma was the difference for PSG against Aston Villa on Tuesday night, the goalkeeper making five saves in the Champions League quarter-final second leg at Villa Park, three of them, well, sensational.â
âEven that 1-0 reverse at the Parc des Princes, which would not be an impediment to progress, was an occasion to embellish their reputation for exciting football, where control is the basis, expression and fearlessness the motifs.â
âLuis Enrique had one word to describe Gianluigi Donnarumma. Sensationnel, the Paris Saint-Germain manager said, briefly switching into French from his native Spanish; no translation required.â
âDonnarumma had no time for the Asensio narrative or the one about a Villa comeback for the ages, one to take a stellar return to Europe's elite competition.â
