According to the report on Sportbible and talksport, the Italian fans were not happy with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and they booed every touch he made on the pitch.

This is because of how the 22-year-old decided to finish his contract at AC Milan before completing a move to French side Paris Saint-Germain.

Fans then decided to forget how he helped the national team in the final of the EURO 2020 by saving Bukayo Saka's decisive penalty which gave Italy the title.

Meanwhile, Gianluigi Donnarumma will now have to shift his focus to Italy's next game against TBD which will be played on Sunday, October 10 and it is expected to be tough.
