Donnarumma was crowned with the Italian national team the Euro title last Sunday, and won the award of best player in the tournament, after his brilliance throughout its course, especially in the playoffs.

PSG, led by its Argentine coach, Mauricio Pochettino, started its preparatory matches for the new season with a big victory over Le Mans 4-0 today, and will play the second match next Saturday against Chambley Club of the first class.
