Gianluigi Donnarumma was crowned FIFA The Best Men's Goalkeeper for 2025, winning the award for the first time in his career. Donnarumma had an exceptional year filled with achievements, clinching four titles with his former club Paris Saint-Germain across all competitions. The most notable of these was his Champions League title after keeping a clean sheet in the final, where PSG secured a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Inter Milan on May 31, 2025, along with his outstanding performances in the earlier stages of the competition. The 26-year-old goalkeeper also secured three other domestic titles: Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and the Trophée des Champions, in addition to contributing to Paris Saint-Germain's runner-up finish at the FIFA Club World Cup. Donnarumma currently plays for Manchester City in the English Premier League. He topped the voting over a group of candidates from the world's best goalkeepers: Alisson Becker, Thibaut Courtois, Emiliano Martínez, Manuel Neuer, David Raya, Yann Sommer, and Wojciech Szczęsny.
