Gianluigi Donnarumma: The Penalty King
Gianluigi Donnarumma, the towering goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain and the Italian national team, continues to cement his legacy as one of the finest shot-stoppers in penalty shootouts. Recent statistics from Transfermarkt highlight Donnarumma's remarkable record, with only three keepers surpassing him since 1974 in penalty save percentages.
His heroics were once again on display during Italy's Euro 2020 final against England, where his crucial saves secured Italy's victory.

England fans, in particular, have had a mix of admiration and frustration over Donnarumma's ability to thwart their hopes. As he continues to shine for both club and country, Donnarumma's reputation as a penalty specialist only grows stronger.
