'I would have done differently' - Neuer blames Donnarumma for Musiala injury

PSG's 2-0 victory over Bayern was marred by a serious injury to Jamal Musiala. In first-half stoppage time, the German playmaker collided with Gianluigi Donnarumma while chasing a ball near the goal line, his legs getting tangled with the Italian goalkeeper.

The impact left Musiala's left leg in a bad way, forcing the 22-year-old's substitution.

Speaking in the mixed zone at Atlanta's Mercedes Benz Arena, via Sportal, Manuel Neuer argued that Donnarumma hadn't approached the situation safely.

"He didn't need to go in like that. It's risky. He accepted the possibility of injuring his opponent."

The veteran goalkeeper's criticism extended to Donnarumma's behavior after the incident. "I went to him and asked, 'Why didn't you check on our player? Out of respect, it's the right thing to do, to wish him well.' And he did."

"Sportsmanship is part of the game. I would have reacted differently," insisted a disappointed Neuer, having witnessed another serious injury to Musiala.
