Paris Saint-Germain manager, Luis Enrique, has singled out goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for special praise, insisting that the Italian saved his team against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final first-leg tie on Wednesday.
Erinque’s side defeated the Premier League North London club 1-0, thanks to Ousmane Dembele’s first-half goal at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking after the game, Enrique also said PSG could have scored the second goal.
According to him, PSG showed the kind of team they are, adding that the visitors scored the goal early.
“I think emotions are at that level in those kinds of matches, so it’s difficult to analyse,” Erinque told Amazon Prime after the game.
“Great atmosphere, but we showed the kind of team we are. We tried to play our way and scored the goal early, playing the way we play.
“We suffered sometimes, but could have scored the second goal.”
Speaking about the performance of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Enrique added: “That is the work of a goalkeeper, no? Save the team, they work every day for that. In a semi-final, you need all the players, “he said.
