“Oh Gigio, you’re at home!” Arriving in the Parc des Princes auditorium on Thursday shortly after 6 p.m., Gianluigi Donnarumma displays a relaxed demeanor and a contagious smile. Like a fish in water, he answers very teasing Italian journalists even before the start of the press conference on the eve of the match between France and Italy, in a proximity that has the air of a summer camp that contrasts with his appearances in front of the media with Paris Saint-Germain.
A few moments before, he was able to meet Kylian Mbappé who had just come out of training and who will start on Friday evening. “I said hello to him but also to other teammates,” admitted the captain of the Italian team. We have a good relationship, we are friends but for the first time we are rivals.”
