Gianluigi Donnarumma 2024–25: From Question Marks to Champions League Hero

When PSG embarked on the 2024–25 campaign under head coach Luis Enrique, much attention centered on the club's reinvention. Having moved past the star-driven era—post-Messi, Neymar, Mbappé—PSG sought tactical discipline and European glory. All eyes turned to their goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose uneven performances in high stakes matches placed his reliability under scrutiny. Yet by season’s end, he had become indispensable—integral to PSG’s first-ever Champions League triumph.

Unable to secure a new contract extension, Donnarumma was forced out of PSG following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier from Lille, with PSG unwilling to countenance another contract saga after Kylian Mbappe's ugly divorce from the club. After four years in France, the Italian shot-stopper has a new challenge: competing with fellow new signing James Trafford for the starting goalkeeper role at Manchester City. Today, we're taking a look at City's new goalkeeper.
