Musiala's 'horrific' injury, Donnarumma reacts: I'm very

More than the match and the result, the focus in PSG's clash with Bayern was on the horror injury Jamal Musiala suffered to his left leg. A tackle by Gianluigi Donnarumma caused damage to the 22-year-old's left fibula and ligaments, which will keep him out for six months.

Donnarumma was heavily criticized for not staying close to Musiala because he was shaken by the injury.

Donnarumma was also criticized by Bavarian goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who accused him of intervening in an unnecessary and hasty manner.

Donnarumma himself stated after the incident to the daily "La Gazzetta dello sport" saying: " I am very shocked by what happened, because it was obviously not my intention to harm Musiala . "

With a sudden move, Donnarumma intervened to take the ball from Musiala. An intervention that was considered legal and unpunished by referee Taylor.

"It's a matter of tenths of a second - underlines his agent, Vincenzo Raiola -, it only takes a moment for the wait to turn into a penalty. Gigio was the first to reach the ball and could no longer avoid the tackle. It is unfair to think that he wanted to harm Musiala, who we wish to recover as soon as possible to come back stronger than before".
