Things went wrong early in the match for Donnarumma, who came out and then got the boot of Monaco defender Wilfried Singo in the face. The Italian goalie had to be replaced and was photographed in the catacombs with a large wound on his cheek.
Coupet, who was particularly successful as a goalkeeper for Olympique Lyon and also played more than thirty international matches for France, placed on X a photo of Donnarumma being hit in the face. “So this is allowed nowadays?” the Frenchman wondered. Singo already had a yellow card, but was not punished for his action towards Donnarumma.
For Coupet it is clear: goalkeepers must become tougher towards the opponent. ‘Dear goalkeepers, become the boss of your own penalty area again. As my father always said: “It is better to be the butcher than the cow.”‘ After the match, Singo apologized to Donnarumma, the Monaco defender also visited the goalkeeper in the dressing room.
