Italy national team captain Gianluigi Donnarumma has officially been handed The Best Men’s Goalkeeper at FIFA’s The Best awards on Tuesday.
Donnarumma wins FIFA’s The Best Goalkeeper award
This is the first time that Donnarumma has won the goalkeeping prize at FIFA’s The Best awards, having finished second behind Chelsea’s Champions League-winning Edouard Mendy in 2021. This award adds to the Yachine Award that Donnarumma won at the Ballon d’Or ceremony earlier this year.
He has seen off competition from Liverpool’s Alisson Becker, Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer, Arsenal’s David Raya, Inter’s Yann Sommer and Barcelona’s Wojciech Szczesny to win the award.
Donnarumma’s highlight of the last calendar year came while he was still with Paris Saint-Germain, when they thumped Inter 5-0 in the Champions League final at the end of May. He has since joined Manchester City, who are in second place, two points off Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
The former Milan stopper becomes the second Italian to have won the FIFA Best Goalkeeper prize, which has been running since 2017, following Gianluigi Buffon’s triumph in the inaugural year.
Italy and Brazil are the only two nations to have two different goalkeepers win the prize (Buffon and Donnarumma, and Ederson and Alisson).
