Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has criticized goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma as he stayed on his line and watched defender, Andreas Christensen head in a winner for Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg tie on Wednesday.
Raphinha gave Barcelona a first half lead before Ousmane Dembele fired in an equaliser just after the interval.
Vitinha then put PSG ahead moments later.
However, the La Liga giants regrouped, with Raphinha scoring a brilliant second goal and then Christensen headed in the winner from a corner to give the visitors a 3-2 win.
But Ferdinand was not pleased with Donnarumma’s display, insisting that he committed a ‘crime’ and also made two mistakes in the first half.
“I think the goalkeeper in the first half makes two mistakes from crosses and I think in his head he’s saying, ‘I’m going to stay on my line no matter what now and let the responsibility fall on the defenders to defend this set-piece’,” Ferdinand said on TNT Sports.
“That is in his six-yard box, he is 6/7″ or so. That is a crime almost, not coming in your six-yard box and claiming that.”
