An Ex-PSG Keeper Rallies Behind Chevalier, But…

Lucas Chevalier was signed this summer for €40 million to take over from Gianluigi Donnarumma, who won the Champions League with PSG. Since August, the former Lille keeper has been adapting to the intense pressure of top-tier football. Luis Enrique reminded, *“For four years, you have overshadowed Gigio Donnarumma. As a keeper at PSG, you have to learn to live with that.”* This challenge is echoed by Jérôme Alonzo, a former club goalkeeper, who stated, *“Lucas is succeeding the current best keeper in the world. He needs to match his performance and add something extra to the game. Good luck!”*

<p>Despite this, Alonzo believes it’s too early for concern. He pointed out, *“His double save against Strasbourg shows he is still very strong,”* but acknowledged, *“the error-to-exploit balance is currently negative.”* While Chevalier has excelled in the UEFA Super Cup and the Champions League against Leverkusen, he has also had some missteps, such as a failed clearance against OM. However, Alonzo remains optimistic, telling *Le Parisien*, *“He will undoubtedly be the future great French keeper. We just need to give him time.”* He concluded with a clear challenge: *“I want to see him dominate his area like he did in Lille, chest out, ready to lead. That’s his next challenge: to become the boss at PSG.”*</p>
