Donnarumma confronts Liverpool fans after 'cheat' chants during Man City's 3-0 win
The Manchester City goalkeeper was targeted by traveling Liverpool fans with 'cheat' chants — widely interpreted as a reference to PSG's Champions League round-of-16 elimination of Liverpool on penalties last season, when Donnarumma saved a spot-kick. After the final whistle in a 3-0 City win, Donnarumma approached the away end and appeared to confront the supporters, with images and video of the exchange circulating on social media. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between the clubs' fanbases and adds another subplot to the fixture's growing rivalry. City moved further clear in the title race with the result, while Liverpool's poor run of form continues.
