Romain Mabille, head of the Collectif Ultras Paris, told La Gazzetta dello Sport that Paris Saint-Germain supporters would pay tribute to Gianluigi Donnarumma, 26, the club’s goalkeeper since 2021. According to him, it was an opportunity to salute a “PSG legend” and say goodbye to him, whether the club agrees or not.
“With or without the club’s agreement, we will pay tribute to him. We hope to say goodbye in person one last time.”
“Donnarumma deserves it for everything he has done. We have always had a wonderful relationship with him, based on mutual respect, since day one. And in any case, he has become a PSG legend.”
From his very first steps at the Parc des Princes, Gianluigi Donnarumma found a special connection with the stands occupied by the Collectif Ultras Paris. The Italian giant, often praised for his openness and simplicity, quickly managed to break down the distance that sometimes separates PSG stars from their loyal supporters. In moments of triumph as well as in times of doubt, he maintained this direct relationship—engaging with fans, exchanging words, and consistently showing respect for both the club and its supporters.
This closeness, rare in modern football, built a strong, almost personal bond that went beyond mere sporting performances. For many in the stands, it is not just a goalkeeper preparing to leave, but a familiar face, a reassuring presence, a player who embodied a certain idea of PSG: committed, respectful, and connected to his fans
