Cruises to shutout victory Donnarumma recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Angers.
Impact Saturday's 1-0 victory over Angers was about as easy of a clean sheet Donnarumma will obtain all season. The visiting side had just 19 percent possession, put zero shots on target, and generated a measly 0.18 expected goals. The clean sheet will be a welcome sight for the Italian keeper, as it is just his fourth in Ligue 1 and his first kept in all competitions since PSG's victory over Liverpool in the Champions League. Donnarumma will likely face a greater test against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Concedes one in victory Donnarumma registered one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 3-1 victory versus Marseille.
Impact Donnarumma was in goal for the Classique against Marseille and had a quiet outing, conceding once and making only one save on Sunday.

He will try to keep a clean sheet after the international break when Paris faces Saint-Etienne at Geoffroy-Guichard.

Keeps clean sheet in victory Donnarumma registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 0-1 (5-1) penalty shootout win versus Liverpool.
Impact Donnarumma had an outstanding performance on Tuesday in the second leg against Liverpool. The Italian goalkeeper faced heavy criticism after the first leg as fans questioned his ability in big games. Against Liverpool, he delivered what was likely his best performance in a PSG shirt, making two saves and an impressive 12 clearances on the numerous crosses from the opposition. This area had been considered a weakness in his game, but he proved his quality on Tuesday. If his performance in regulation time was not enough, he also saved two penalties in the shootout to help his team advance to the next round against Aston Villa or Club Brugge.

Allows two in win Donnarumma made five saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 3-2 win over Lyon.
Impact Donnarumma had a great performance between the posts and held the home team scoreless during most of the match despite the number of scoring chances they created. A late-game surge from Lyon took his clean sheet away, but the highest total of saves in a month makes the goalkeeper still a positive net from a fantasy standpoint.
