Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been awarded the 2025 Yashin Trophy, ending Emiliano Martínez’s two-year hold on the award for the world’s best goalkeeper. Donnarumma earned the honour after a standout season with Paris Saint-Germain, where he played a key role in the club’s quadruple-winning campaign before joining Manchester City.

  • Donnarumma won his second Yashin Trophy, having previously claimed it in 2021.
  • He helped PSG secure the Ligue 1, Champions League, and two domestic cups.
  • The 26-year-old kept 17 clean sheets in 43 appearances last season.
  • He has since transferred to Manchester City, starting strongly with three appearances.
  • Donnarumma matched Martínez as the only goalkeepers to win the award twice.
  • His performance against Arsenal showcased his continued elite form.
  • He will be celebrated at the Etihad during City’s match against Burnley.
  • The award solidifies his status among the world’s top goalkeepers.
In a role defined by resilience and presence, Donnarumma’s return to the pinnacle reminds us that true guardians thrive not in silence, but in the storm.
