Gianluigi Donnarumma has gained far too much experience for a 20-year-old, hasn’t he?

The Italian custodian has already become one of the topmost players in his position in Europe currently and a lot of it is due to his exceptional talent as well.

He is someone who has developed on the physical aspect of his game quite quicker than his adversaries, and that has a big impact in his overall performances as well. Donnarumma is the first-choice goalkeeper for both his club and country at a very young age.

To be fair, his performances do justice to this fact too. The 20-year-old is unafraid during one-v-one situations, as he makes himself bigger and prevents the ball from going in.

Similarly, Donnarumma holds a command inside the box and is quite vocal to express his displeasure whenever his defensive line lets him down.

He has passing accuracy of 82.1% in the league, which is an excellent figure for a goalkeeper. With a long career ahead of him, Donnarumma will only progress from hereon.
