Fifteen years after Gianluigi Buffon helped Italy win the World Cup in a penalty shootout, Gianluigi Donnarumma did the same on Sunday against England in the European Championship final.
Donnarumma was named player of Euro 2020 moments after the match finished, the first goalkeeper in tournament history to be so honoured. Donnarumma also saved a penalty from Alvaro Morata in the penalty shootout victory over Spain in the semi-finals. The World Cup final in 2006 also went to penalties. Buffon didn’t make a save, however, as France forward David Trezeguet hit the crossbar. He was the only player to miss.
Donnarumma’s youth was brought starkly into light in a tender moment when he arrived at the Italy training camp for the first time, and was dropped off by his parents like a child on his first day of school.
