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.
You could make the same argument Musiala shouldn't go for such a ball in a tournament like this.
