Gianluigi Donnarumma has beaten Edouard Mendy to the 2021 Lev Yashin award for best goalkeeper in European football.
Donnarumma has enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence in recent years, having initially made his debut for Milan as a 16-year-old back in 2015.
The Italy international left San Siro before joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, but only after helping the Rossoneri get back into the Champions League and playing a key role in his country’s run to Euro 2020 glory.
Donnarumma has become only the second man to win the Yashin Trophy after Liverpool’s Alisson, with the Brazilian having scooped the inaugural prize in 2019 before the ceremony was cancelled the following year.
