Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma expressed his disappointment.This was due to a decline in the team’s performance in the match which took place in front of the public itself.
“We shouldn’t have conceded the third goal, the fourth goal came in the 93rd minute, but the big problem was that we stopped playing in the second half,” said Donnarumma as reported by Football Italia.
