64 h. ago From Bravo to Donnarumma: Manchester City’s goalkeeping evolution under Guardiola | John Brewin

Italian may lack skills Pep Guardiola has expected from goalkeepers but he is still a match winner in his own rightSigning a goalkeeper with a reputation as lofty as Gianluigi Donnarumma would usually register as a powerful statement of intent but Manchester City’s addition of Italy’s Euro 2020 hero, the keeper whose saves guided Paris Saint-Germain to a first Champions League last season, has been met with a rather mixed reaction.City’s troubled start to the season adds confusion, so too Pep Guardiola’s case history with goalkeepers.
