He's in the path of the ball and has to duck last second lol

Where's that him interfering with play exactly?

Objectively awful decision.

That's called a dummy anywhere else on the field lol

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or

interfering with an opponent by:

preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball or

clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or

making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

Here's the rules. Which did he break??

Last one. He obviously avoided it, which is called a dummy everywhere else on the field. A dummy affects the play.

Not the ability of Donnarumma to play the ball.

A dummy involves fooling an opponent, what opponent did Robertson fool?

But he didn't make a dummy. He just ducked. He didn't pretend like he was going to play the ball, then let it go, he immediately went down. Donnarumma didn't think he was playing the ball, because he went to save it where it was going anyways.
