  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Donnarumma played a key role in helping PSG win the first Champions League trophy in their history in 2024-25, producing a clean sheet in the final as Luis Enrique's side defeated Inter 5-0. And having now had a taste of what lifting Europe's premier club competition is like, the Italy international is hoping to win his and City's second title in his first season at the club.

• WHAT DONNARUMMA SAID

  Speaking for the first time following his move to City, Donnarumma outlined his ambition to win the Champions League again, saying: "It is one of our goals, I’m not going to hide it.

  “Lifting the Champions League trophy with City would be a dream for me. I think the Champions League is the best trophy for a football player. It was an indescribable emotion [winning it with PSG].”
