Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has criticized Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer for blaming PSG goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma for his challenge on Jamal Musiala.
PSG defeated Bayern in their Club World Cup quarterfinal, though the tie was marred by a suspected broken ankle suffered by Jamal Musiala after a collision with Donnarumma.
However, the Italian was blasted by Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer in the aftermath, though Courtois sought to defend his fellow shot-stopper.

After Real Madrid’s quarterfinal win against Borussia Dortmund, Courtois said, “Accusing Donnarumma for Musiala’s injury seems excessive to me.
“Goalkeepers go and get the ball. The attackers don’t hold back when they come at us either. It’s a stroke of luck. It will hurt him (Neuer) even more because he’s a teammate, but Donnarumma is not responsible.”
With Musiala now ruled out for several months after being diagnosed with a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle, the debate over responsibility in these kinds of plays continues.
