Donnarumma against Milan, the story: from his debut at 16 to his farewell to PSG

The story begins on October 25th, the year is 2015. Sinisa Mihajlovic coaches Milan and the Rossoneri host Sassuolo at San Siro. On the pitch there are Bacca, Montolivo and Abate, but a new face appears, that of Gianluigi Donnarumma. For everyone, Gigio. He is 16 years, 8 months and 6 days old. He plays in goal, they say he is good and on that autumn day he made Diego Lopez sit on the bench: “Sinisa told me the day before. I was excited and tense, but it was fantastic. He asked me if I was afraid of playing, I replied now. I was ready and motivated.” A good debut with a 2-1 victory, a small uncertainty about Berardi’s goal and the coach who, some time later, said: “Before the match Berlusconi came to Milanello twice to convince me, he wanted Diego Lopez on the pitch. He had two possibilities Send me away and put the Spanish on or keep me and see Donnarumma in goal. He kept me, luckily for him.”
