Donnarumma Wins Yachine Trophy After Stellar PSG Season
Italian shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been crowned the best goalkeeper in the world, winning the prestigious Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris.
The 26-year-old enjoyed a remarkable campaign with Paris Saint-Germain, playing a pivotal role in the club’s historic treble-winning season, including their first-ever UEFA Champions League title. His commanding presence, decisive saves, and consistency under pressure established him as one of the finest keepers of his generation.
Donnarumma’s heroics in Europe, particularly his performances in the knockout stages, were crucial to PSG’s triumph and set him apart from his peers.
This summer, the Italian international made a high-profile move to Manchester City, where he is expected to be a cornerstone in Pep Guardiola’s pursuit of further domestic and continental glory.
The Yashin Trophy, named after legendary Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin, recognizes the standout goalkeeper in world football each year. For Donnarumma, it is another milestone in a career that continues to reach new heights.
