Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are widely expected to see off Marseille's threat at the Parc des Princes, and as of writing, the Parsian giants are winning 2-1 in their Ligue 1 clash. While their attack has been sturdy, finding pockets of space within the Phocaeans' defense, the Parisians' defending, however, has been rather subpar.
Fans have already taken to Twitter to lash out at the Parisian giants for playing Gianluigi Donnarumma, with the goalkeeper dramatically flopping to hand Marseille a goal in the 31st minute. He came off his line to punch away a corner, but his flailing arm did not reach the ball, and Duje Caleta-Car was on hand to poke it into the net.
Here is a selection of reactions from fans who are understandably upset at Donnarumma's poor showing on the night:

This was another fumble from the former Milan goalkeeper, coming after he gifted Karim Benzema a key goal in their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Real Madrid. The Parisians were eventually knocked out after Benzema struck a hat-trick past Donnarumma over the course of 17 minutes in the second leg of the tie.
PSG are currently leading 2-1, thanks to an early goal from Neymar, as well as a penalty well taken by Kylian Mbappe. The Parisians have dominated proceedings, while consistently finding their chances chalked off for offside.
PSG are out of the Champions League as well as the Coupe de France, but are now well set to win the Ligue 1 title. If they beat Marseille, PSG will extend their lead over their rivals to 15 points at the top of the table. A win would also make it a 19-match unbeaten run at the Parc des Princes for the Qatar-backed outfit.
PSG reportedly set up 3 options to keep Kylian Mbappe
Paris Saint-Germain are staring down the possibility of losing phenomenal French forward Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer this summer. The 23-year-old World Cup winner is viewed as an important part of their plans moving forward, and the club is believed to be trying its best to convince him to remain in Paris.
According to reports circulated by Le Parisien (via the Express), PSG are considering three options to keep Mbappe in Paris. They reportedly aren't against moving on Neymar to make Mbappe the focal point of the team, while also offering him the club captaincy and bringing in Paul Pogba.
The race to sign Mbappe will surely get hotter now, with the sensational Frenchman’s contract set to expire at the end of the season. Many of his suitors will remain close to developments and will hope to secure his signature before the start of the new season.
