Gvardiol Lauds Donnarumma's Impact on Man City's Defence After 11th Start

Early results show seven goals conceded with five clean sheets in 11 starts.

Overview

  • City's 4-1 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund marked Donnarumma's 11th appearance since a £26m move from PSG.
  • Guardiola's side have won eight of those matches, losing only once, as teammates cite improved communication at the back.
  • Josko Gvardiol says the 6ft 5in goalkeeper is confident on the ball, uses his height, and comes off his line to intervene.
  • The Italian has three bookings in 11 games for arguing with officials, which Gvardiol frames as supportive, demanding leadership.
  • One notable error came in the Bournemouth win, when a mishit punch led to Tyler Adams' equaliser before Donnarumma protested for a foul.
