newcastle united Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos has been critical of the Premier League team for not keeping his word following his transfer.

The Magpies took the 31-year-old nottingham forest in July 2024 and allowed Elliott Anderson to move in the opposite direction.

The two deals were separate operations, and Anderson is acting for the Reds. On the other hand, the goalkeeper has never had a major role at Newcastle United.

He got 45 minutes for Eddie Howe’s side in the EFL Cup win at AFC Wimbledon in October 2024 and this has been his only appearance for the Tyneside club.

The Greece international came to replace the injured Martin Dubravka and if the latter had not suffered a concussion, he would not have played for the club.

Last season, the manager had Nick Pope, Dubravka, Vlachodimos and Mark Gillespie as stoppers.

Dubravka left as a free agent, while the former Reds man joined Sevilla on a loan deal in August 2025. The other two are still at St James’s Park.

The goalkeeper believes that Eddie Howe’s team did not keep their word, which was not good.

“I had a plan. A week before the first match, the plan changed and the things they told me didn’t happen. Despite that, I felt great and so did my family at Newcastle. The idea came in that you have to give something extra every day. That’s what I tried to do,” He said.

“From morning to afternoon, I was in the gym. Every day I wanted to do something different. I was certainly not happy because I was not playing. They told me something else. I was angry, but I worked. After all, I do it for myself, I don’t do it for them. Every footballer wants to play.

“My goal was to go to the World Cup with the national team and that’s what kept me going.”

Gianluigi Donnarumma suffered the worst night of his Manchester City career so far on Wednesday.

The Citizens suffered a disastrous 3–0 defeat to Real Madrid and Donnarumma struggled for the full 90 minutes. He stopped a penalty which saved the Citizens an embarrassment but there were too many mistakes throughout the match.

The first goal was clearly his mistake and arguably, the Italian could have come off his line early for Federico Valverde’s third goal as well.

The 26-year-old player also made a mistake in giving a penalty, which he saved and for this he was given a yellow card.

The goalkeeper’s performances caught the attention of the Italian media, who were never far from the former AC Milan player.

Donnarumma’s heated argument with the referee

tuttosport Note today that the Manchester City player was not happy with Italian referee Maurizio Mariani. This was true when he was booked for dishonesty which led to a fine.

The goalkeeper said to the official: “Why are you acting like a big shot? You’re acting like a big shot.”

The matter did not end there, as Donnarumma continued after a few seconds of silence: “Why are you giving me a yellow card?“

TuttoSport also released the player’s comments to Sky Italia after the defeat. He looked hopeful of an unexpected comeback in the second leg at the Etihad.

“We have to play a completely different game in the return leg. I’m disappointed because we lost badly, but we’re playing at home and hopefully the situation will change.”

Donnarumma expressed confidence in Manchester City fans to help turn things around.

“With our fans, it will definitely be different. They will have to give us unprecedented promotion, but they will definitely do it because they are special“

Manchester City needs more from Donnarumma

The Italy international has been one of Manchester City’s best players in the Premier League. However, on a crucial night at the Bernabeu, things fell through and the goalkeeper will have to be at his best form in the second leg.

Big performances are nothing new for him, having done so for Italy and Paris Saint-Germain last season. It is important to remember that Real Madrid are not at their best ahead of the second leg.

Their season has been full of ups and downs and it would be foolish to rule out a Manchester City comeback. If it’s anything close to that, Donnarumma’s penalty save on Vinicius Jr. could be a significant contribution in its own right.
