In the recent match, Donnarumma reached the milestone of 80 appearances for the national team at the age of 27, becoming the youngest player in Italian football history to achieve this. The previous record belonged to legendary Paolo Maldini, who reached the same milestone at the age of 29 in 1997.
Donnarumma's personal milestone is even more significant as he played a major role in helping Italy keep a clean sheet, securing a 2-0 victory against Northern Ireland and moving closer to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
On the day he wore the captain's armband, Donnarumma had a good performance. According to FotMob , he achieved an 84% pass accuracy rate. Northern Ireland took 8 shots throughout the match but only 1 was on target, posing little threat to Donnarumma and his teammates.
Donnarumma's rare mistake came in the 70th minute when he passed the ball straight to an opponent. However, the Northern Ireland players were unable to capitalize on this opportunity.
Italy's two goals, scored by Sandro Tonali and Moise Kean, brought the "Azzurri" closer to securing a place in the 2026 World Cup. In the 2026 World Cup play-off final, the "Azzurri" will face Bosnia. This is a tournament Italy is determined to participate in after a long absence since the 2014 World Cup.
