My Take

What fascinates me about Donnarumma is how early he was forced to grow up. Most keepers peak in their thirties; he was guarding Milan's net at sixteen, absorbing scrutiny that breaks veterans. I admire how he turned the whistles and transfer-saga vitriol into fuel, becoming a Euro-winning presence and now Italy's captain. For a man of 196 centimeters he is improbably quick on his line, but the trait I value most is psychological: he seems to forget mistakes instantly, which in goalkeeping is the whole game. If he stays healthy, I believe we are watching a future all-time great in real time.
