Mansion Sports – Gianluigi Donnarumma has officially been crowned the winner of the 2025 Yashin Trophy after playing a crucial role in Paris Saint-Germain’s triumphant campaign that delivered four major titles, including the UEFA Champions League.

This achievement brings an end to Emiliano Martinez’s two-year dominance, as the Argentine goalkeeper had previously won the award in back-to-back years.

The Italian shot-stopper now stands alongside Martinez as one of only two goalkeepers to have won the prestigious award twice. Donnarumma had first claimed the Yashin Trophy in 2021 following his heroic performances that helped Italy secure the UEFA European Championship title.

A Key Figure in PSG’s Historic Season

Throughout the 2024/2025 season, Donnarumma featured in 43 matches for PSG, keeping 17 clean sheets.

His consistent and commanding presence between the posts was pivotal in Les Parisiens securing an outstanding quadruple: Ligue 1, the Champions League, the Trophee des Champions, and the Coupe de France.

In addition, PSG also advanced to the final of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, ultimately finishing as runners-up.

This collection of accomplishments made the past season one of the most remarkable periods in Donnarumma’s career to date.

A New Chapter with Manchester City

Despite his stellar displays, Donnarumma eventually lost his place as PSG’s first-choice goalkeeper after Luis Enrique opted for a tactical shift.

This decision paved the way for his move to Manchester City in the summer of 2025, marking the beginning of a new journey in the Premier League.

So far, Donnarumma has guarded City’s goal in three opening matches, conceding only twice. His brilliance was particularly evident in the clash against Arsenal last weekend, where a series of vital saves secured a 1-1 draw and showcased his immediate impact at his new club.

Showcasing the Yashin Trophy at the Etihad

Donnarumma’s Yashin Trophy triumph, awarded during the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony, now brings a fresh sense of pride to Manchester City.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper is set to present his latest accolade to the Etihad Stadium crowd when City host Burnley in their upcoming Premier League fixture this Saturday.

From Paris to Manchester, Donnarumma’s career trajectory underscores his unwavering ability to perform at the highest level.

With his list of honors continuing to grow, the 2025 Yashin Trophy serves as further confirmation of his standing as one of the finest goalkeepers of his generation.
