STUTTGART, Germany — Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a save that kept the momentum going for his team as PSG progressed to the Champions League playoffs. Often criticized this season, the Italy goalkeeper was inspirational as PSG beat Stuttgart 4-1. The early goal from Bradley Barcola, combined with Ousmane Dembélé's hat trick, made PSG's performance impressive. But it was Donnarumma's diving effort in the 16th minute that defined the course of the game. PSG was one goal up at that moment and his save prevented Stuttgart from getting back into the match.
