Enrique took full responsibility for the Italians omission, telling reporters: “Donnarumma is out of the squad as it’s my own decision, I am 100% responsible.

Following the shock decision, the PSG star released a damning statement on the situation.
"To the special Paris fans," he wrote on Instagram.
"From the first day I arrived, I gave everything – on and off the pitch – to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain.
"Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened.
"I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done.
"If that doesn’t happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it.
"I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights, and of you, who made me feel at home.
"To my teammates – my second family – thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers.
"Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris."
