PSG couldn't get the most out of two great keepers - Barthez
Donnarumma has made big mistakes in several important games this season.
Fabian Barthez believes that
Paris Saint-Germaindo not make the most of the presence of two world-class goalkeepers in their squad.
, along with
Lionel Messi,
Sergio Ramosand Georginio Wijnaldum, was one of PSG's free signings during the summer transfer window, joining the team and starting to compete with Keylor Navas. But none of these purchases met expectations and had weaker performances than in previous seasons. Lionel Messi has scored just seven goals, Sergio Ramos and Wijnaldumhave missed most of the season due to injury and Donnarumma has performed poorly. Now Barthez claims that PSG could have made more use of the presence of two world-class goalkeepers.
"I respect coaches a lot, I respect Pochettino a lot and I know how difficult this job is, but putting two goalkeepers of this level in competition [with each other] does not serve the team.
"What message are you sending to your goalkeepers? What psychological dispositions do you place them in? Who do you really trust for big games? What do outfield players say to each other?
"You instil doubt in everyone and then, it's the competition that makes you progress, not the training. A guy like Donnarumma - or Navas for that matter - he has to play. What happened [against Madrid] is the consequence of all that."
