AC Milan might not be too worried about losing star
goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma - as they have another Donnarumma who is nifty
with his gloves waiting in the wings.
The Rossoneri's first choice was absent for Wednesday's
Coppa Italia derby against Inter through injury.
Marco Storari was called up to deputise, but also fell
victim to physical troubles, leaving coach Gennaro Gattuso with a dilemma
between the posts.
Enter Antonio Donnarumma, brother of the teenage sensation,
making his debut appearance for the Serie A giants almost a decade after he
first sat on the bench as an unused substitute.
The 27-year-old performed heroically to keep out the likes
of Mauro Icardi and Antonio Candreva for 120 minutes at San Siro.
The game was eventually decided by another teenager, Patrick
Cutrone, who struck in extra time to decide the tie 1-0.
All the plaudits, however, went to the older Donnarumma for
his surprising turn between the posts.
