The play was not malicious IMO. Donnarumma had a right to the ball as did Musiala. It was an unfortunate accident.
The argument some are making (Neuer) is that Donnarumma didn't need to do that in a tournament like this. I think the argument is stupid because you can't tell a racehorse not to race on a track. You can't tell a professional footballer to only give 50% when he's on the pitch.
That's what sets pro athletes apart from us. When they are "on", they give it all.
