PSG rues missed chances despite beating Liverpool 2-0 in quarterfinals

“What the national team does, as always, in every competition, is give a gift ​to the players ‌who qualify for a tournament.

“That was all there was to it, but nobody asked the federation for anything; our reward ‌was getting to go to the ​World Cup.”

Italy’s failure to qualify for the June 11 to July 19 ⁠tournament in North America resulted in Italian Football Federation President Gabriele Gravina resigning amid ‌political pressure and the country’s former goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon stepping down as the team’s delegation chief.

Head coach Gennaro Gattuso also left his position.

“We have to start afresh, move on,” Donnarumma, 27, said.

“We have ‌to bounce back; there are four years until ​the next World Cup, and in the meantime there are major ⁠competitions like the European Championship and the Nations ⁠League.

“Before thinking about the World Cup, we need to focus on these ‌big tournaments in between and we need to start again strongly straight ​away.”

Harry Maguire extends stay at Manchester United until 2027

Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox told the club’s website: “Following the announcement of our match against Leeds in Dublin, we’re excited to confirm four more pre-season fixtures in the Nordics.

“We’re delighted to be playing in some fantastic cities, against opponents who will provide a strong test for us.

“We have the best fans in the world, and this schedule gives us a great opportunity to connect with our supporters across Europe. We’re really looking forward to getting out there and putting in the hard work ahead of a big season.”

United has enjoyed an impressive resurgence since former Old Trafford favourite Michael Carrick took caretaker charge after Darren Fletcher was briefly at the helm following the end of Ruben Amorim’s turbulent 14 months’ reign in January. The Red Devils have risen to third in the Premier League which puts a return to the Champions League in sight.
