PSG 2-2 Tottenham: Lucas Chevalier made his debut in Super Cup win as Gianluigi Donnarumma dropped

Paris St-Germain head coach Luis Enrique made a "brutal call" in replacing Gianluigi Donnarumma with Lucas Chevalier as the European champions move away from an "older-style goalkeeper".

Despite his heroics last season as the club won the Champions League, Italian Donnarumma was dropped for Wednesday's Super Cup meeting with Tottenham - and made available for transfer with one year left on his current contract.

Chevalier, signed from Lille earlier this week, has been handed the No1 spot and helped PSG overcome Tottenham on penalties following a dramatic 2-2 draw in Udine.

Luis Enrique said the decision was "100%" his as the PSG boss opted for a "different profile" of goalkeeper in the 23-year-old Chevalier.

While Donnarumma's saves were crucial in helping the French side to glory in May as they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0, he has often been criticised for his ability with the ball at his feet.

French football journalist Julian Laurens said "without Gianluigi Donnarumma I don't think PSG win the Champions League".

Yet he also understood why they went "with someone different" as he told BBC Radio 5 Live: "They have made a call, a brutal call. Lucas Chevalier is better on the ball, better in the air, better with distribution, but he doesn't have the experience.

"All eyes were on him as he replaces probably the best goalkeeper in the world right now."
