Jamal Musiala suffered a severe injury to his lower left leg after colliding with Gianluigi Donnarumma during Bayern Munich's quarter-final loss to Paris Saint-Germain. The incident occurred when Donnarumma attempted to dive for the ball. Following the game, reports indicated Musiala fractured his fibula and is expected to be out for at least four months. Manuel Neuer criticized Donnarumma's approach, calling it risky, while acknowledging he ultimately offered his well wishes to Musiala. Thibaut Courtois defended Donnarumma, stating that collisions in football may happen without intent to harm.
It's a situation where you don't have to go in like that. That's risky. He's willing to accept the risk of injuring his opponent. I went up to him and said, 'Don't you want to go over to our player?' It's only right to go over and wish the guy well. He did that in the end. Fairness is always important. I would have reacted differently.
Blaming Donnarumma seems excessive to me. Goalkeepers will go for the ball. Attackers don't hold back when they come towards goalkeepers, it's part of the game.
