Gianluigi Donnarumma speaks about his strong friendship with Erling Haaland, who warmly welcomed the new goalkeeper at Manchester City
In a surprising turn of events, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who helped Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secure their first ever Champions League crown in May, is set to make his first appearance in the prestigious tournament for his new club, Manchester City.
Donnarumma's move to City this summer saw him being frozen out at PSG, with Lucas Chevalier taking over the number one spot following his arrival from Lille. However, the Italian international has been warmly received at his new club, being adored by fans in contrast to his situation at PSG.
Interestingly, Donnarumma's first Champions League match with City will be against none other than Napoli, the Serie A champions. Napoli, under the guidance of coach Antonio Conte, have made a strong start to the 2025-26 season, winning their first three league games.
Donnarumma and Napoli's star striker, Erling Haaland, share an incredible relationship, with Donnarumma describing Haaland as one of the best players in the world, if not the best. Haaland, in turn, has praised Donnarumma, calling him a fantastic person.
As the two teams prepare to face off in the Champions League opener, football fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the highly anticipated clash between Donnarumma and his former team, as well as the exciting matchup between the two talented players, Haaland and Donnarumma.
