Gianluigi Donnarumma Standing Tall For Champions League Final-Bound PSG

Ousmane Dembele and his fellow attacking players may have stolen most of the limelight on Paris Saint-Germain's run in this season's Champions League, but the form of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been just as important in taking the French giants to the brink of the final. PSG host Arsenal at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday in the second leg of their semi-final and come into the match with a 1-0 lead following last week's clash in London. Dembele scored the only goal at the Emirates Stadium, his 33rd of the season in all competitions further underlining his status as the leader of the Paris attack in the wake of Kylian Mbappe's departure.
