This match holds special significance for the Azzurri captain, who considers Paris his home and the stadium a familiar battleground.

The group stage of League A, Group B, in the Nations League, is set to deliver a fascinating clash between two European football giants. Adding to the intrigue, five PSG players are expected to feature in the match, highlighting the deep connections between the French club and both national teams.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Italy’s first-choice goalkeeper, will lead the Italian defense, while France is likely to start with Bradley Barcola and Randal Kolo Muani in their attack.

On the eve of this crucial encounter, Donnarumma addressed the media in a pre-match press conference. Reflecting on the opportunity to play at Parc des Princes once again, he expressed his excitement and emotional attachment to the venue:

"It's wonderful to be here because Paris is my home, so it will be emotional to play at Parc des Princes with Italy. It will be a special match. Facing my PSG teammates? We exchanged some messages and jokes before I left for Coverciano (the Italian national team's training center). I gave them some advice, but they are very unpredictable. They are very fast and technically gifted."

This game isn't just about seeing familiar faces on the pitch; it's a crucial showdown in the Nations League, with both Italy and France pushing hard for the top spots in their group. With pride and important points up for grabs, it's shaping up to be an exciting clash.
