Italy coach Roberto Mancini had
blasted the flak directed at goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma
during Italy's 2-1 defeat to Spain at San Siro in the Nations
League semi-final on Wednesday, presumably from fans of his
former club AC Milan.
The 22-year-old joined Paris St Germain in the close season
after refusing a contract renewal with Milan.
He was repeated jeered, booed and whistled at when he touched
the ball on Wednesday.
"I'm really saddened by it," Mancini said.
"He was playing for Italy, it wasn't a club game.
"It could have been put aside for a night and saved for an
eventual Milan-PSG match".
Donnarumma's performances as part of Italy's winning Euro 2020
team earned him the player of the tournament award.
