Former PSG Star Beats Out Liverpool, Inter Milan Standouts for Yachine Trophy | OneFootball

Former PSG star Gianluigi Donnarumma was recognized for his outstanding 2024-25 season. The Italian was part of the capital club team that won the treble, including the UEFA Champions League, the first in PSG’s history.

Donnarumma became a key player in the Champions League knockout stage for the Ligue 1 side. The new Manchester City goalkeeper came up big in the penalty kick shootout against Liverpool and in the second leg against Aston Villa.

As a result, it was a no-brainer that Donnarumma would win the Yachine Trophy for best goalkeeper. The 26-year-old edged out Liverpool’s Alisson Becker and Inter Milan’s Yann Sommer for the award.

PSG turned into a machine when the calendar turned to 2025. The Ligue 1 side went through Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal to get to the final, leading to them destroying Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League.

While the capital club nearly won everything in 2025, only losing the FIFA Club World Cup final to Chelsea, the 2024-25 season didn’t start out that way. Luis Enrique and his team had a sluggish start in the Champions League and barely squeaked into the knockout stage.

Despite their early struggles, everything clicked and as the saying goes, the rest was history in what turned into a magical season for PSG.

Nonetheless, Donnarumma would leave the capital club this past summer and join Manchester City to continue his career in the Premier League.
