PSG overcame Liverpool, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in a penalty shootout. At the heart of the Parisians' success stands goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Details. The performance of the Italian goalkeeper did not go unnoticed by UEFA. It was Donnarumma who was named the best player of the Champions League for the past week.
In the final voting, Gianluigi surpassed Aston Villa's Marco Asensio, Bayern's Harry Kane, and Borussia Dortmund's Emre Can.
Donnarumma played at a very high level against Liverpool, saving all shots on PSG's goal. In the penalty shootout, the Italian saved two shots, confirming his status as the “king” of stopping penalty kicks.
Reminder. In the Champions League quarterfinals, PSG will face Aston Villa.
