25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

Nice practice for the tarquins which will be the biggest test.
 
This save was crucial, could have been City's typical one-shot one-goal leak, and the game could have shifted.

Looks no different on the ball to 99% of the keepers out there. He’s not Eddie, nobody is. World class.
Yep. And people act like Pep has never won a trophy playing out from the back with anyone other than Ederson. Neuer managed it. Valdez managed it. Every one of our second choice keepers managed to win League and FA Cups playing out from the back. All of these players are merely decent with their feet. Eddie's passing was like a cheat code at times, but let's not pretend that it's impossible to play this way without him.

Good reflex stop, but the ball went out of play directly from the corner, we got a goal kick from it so wouldn’t have counted as a goal.
 
I like his attitude. Only been a couple of games but I noticed in the Napoli game that whenever the ball was played back to him or headed back whether the defender was pressed or not, he gave an encouraging clap or something towards the defender.

Seems small but very good behavior and the sort of intangibles you want.

I think it was offside against Hojlund following in after the header. If it went in it would have counted.
