11月1日，24直播网报道，在一场访谈中，杰拉德对曼城守门员多纳鲁马近期在巴黎圣日耳曼与维拉比赛中的表现提出了批评。
Gerrard expressed: "Donnarumma is a globally renowned goalkeeper, and his reputation in the football world aligns with his talent, a fact I do not dispute. Since joining Manchester City, he has consistently delivered impressive performances. However, I must highlight that it was Donnarumma's error during the match against Paris Saint-Germain that prevented City from pulling off an upset. At that moment, City's offensive momentum was strong, with the potential to reduce the deficit even further. PSG mounted a counterattack, with Akhilyos taking a shot. This was not an overly difficult save for Donnarumma, who attempted to palm the ball over the crossbar, only for it to slip into the net, making the score 4-1. It was this goal that shattered City's hopes of a comeback, and therefore, I believe the responsibility for that goal lies with Donnarumma."
原本预期多纳鲁马会在与维拉的较量中展现出强劲的反弹，然而，在那场比赛中，他的表现却如同松散的麦片。维拉的杰克逊在比赛中率先打破僵局，他的进球径直飞入球门死角，我认为多纳鲁马当时未能有效封堵，手臂位置过低，或者说他的站位显得过于宽松，未能成功扑出射门。同样地，曼城也曾尝试过类似的射门，但维拉的门将铃木彩艳展现出了世界级的扑救技巧。
