Donnarumma shed tears after winning the Champions League for the first time

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donaluma burst into tears after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the early morning of June 1 and won the Champions League for the historic first time. This is his first Champions League trophy in his career.

The moment the final whistle sounded, Donarumma could not hide his excitement and shed tears of joy. He said in an interview after the game: "These tears represent everything we have experienced throughout the season. We were almost kicked out of the Champions League - once 0-2 behind against Manchester City. But from that moment on, we embarked on an incredible reversal. Now Paris is enjoying the fruits of this wonderful journey because we have completed a great season."

In this final, Donnarumma performed soundly and scored a clean sheet. He contributed 2 key saves and completed 6 accurate long passes, which is an indestructible pillar of the team's defense line.

When asked whether it was special to win the championship by defeating an Italian team (Inter Milan) in the final, Donnarumma said: "When you play for the national team, you have the support of the entire country behind you. In this kind of game, the pressure will be greater. Every final is full of emotion, but it is more meaningful to win the championship for your own country."

26-year-old Donnarumma already has an enviable book of honors:

At the club level, he won four Ligue 1 championships, two French Cups and three French Super Cups with Paris Saint-Germain;

At the national team level, he helped Italy win the European Cup 2020.

These achievements fully demonstrate his outstanding performance and importance in club and national team competitions at all levels.

It is worth mentioning that Donnarumma's current contract with Paris will expire in the summer of 2026. According to rumors, he does not rule out leaving the team as a free agent and looking for more attractive financial treatment. Juventus and Inter Milan are considered the two clubs most likely to welcome him back to Serie A.

The Italian national team's career continues, and this Champions League trophy is undoubtedly an important milestone in his path to legend.
