Football Rising Stars: Gianluigi Donnarumma
Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Seen by many as a goalkeeping genius, he rose through the ranks at AC Milan before joining a word-class Paris Saint-Germain team that dominated the league. He also played a key role in Italy’s Euro 2020 journey, holding his nerve in a tense penalty shoot-out against England to see his country crowned as the champions of Europe.
