Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer commented on the incident regarding Jamal Musiala's injury during the quarter-finals of the World Club Championship against PSG. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 22-year-old player was substituted at the end of the first half after a collision with Parisian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The midfielder was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a fracture of the lower thigh bone.
According to Neuer, it was not right to act in such a manner in this situation. Donnarumma was ready to put his opponent's health at risk.
I asked him if he didn't want to come closer and see what happened. This is a sign of respect and wishing well to the opponent.
He did the same. The ethics of the game should always be an integral part of football.
I would have acted differently, Neuer said in a post-match interview. The match ended with PSG winning 2-0.
