Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has moved to defend PSG counterpart Gigio Donnarumma.

PSG defeated Bayern in their Club World Cup quarterfinal, though the tie was marred by a suspected broken ankle suffered by Jamal Musiala after a collision with Donnarumma.

The Italian was blasted by Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer in the aftermath, though Courtous sought to defend his fellow shot-stopper.

After Real Madrid's quarterfinal win against Borussia Dortmund, Courtois said: "Accusing Donnarumma for Musiala's injury seems excessive to me.

"Goalkeepers go and get the ball. The attackers don't hold back when they come at us either. It's a stroke of luck. It will hurt him (Neuer) even more because he's a teammate, but Donnarumma is not responsible."
