'Italy above all else!' - Mancini condemns venomous Donnarumma fan reception at San Siro

Italy head coach Roberto Mancini expressed displeasure after Gianluigi Donnarumma's rocky return to Milan on Wednesday, claiming fans should have prioritised their love for their national team over their anger at the player's recent Serie A club exit.

The former AC Milan goalkeeper lined up in front of San Siro for the first time since leaving for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer over the summer.

And the Euro 2020 national team hero was targeted with boos and jeers from the crowd as Italy lost 2-1 to Spain in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals.
