The world’s best goalkeeper has also started to qualify for the title of Premier League’s best goalkeeper in the course of a few games on the ball island. So when Donnarumma is asked which striker he would rather have in his team, Mbappé or Haaland, we listen carefully.

Donnarumma made 105 appearances alongside Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain after signing in 2021, and they won three Ligue 1 titles together before the Frenchman left the club for Real Madrid in 2024.
After replacing club legend Ederson at City, Donnarumma has yet to experience defeat in the City shirt. He came into a team that had lost two of its first three league games. With Donnarumma as a living wall and Haaland at the top as an unstoppable goal machine, the two have meant a lot to City’s turnaround after the disastrously poor start to the season.
