Donnarumma was between the sticks as Italy beat Denmark 2-0 during their European Championship Group C clash, and faced a backlash from angry Azzurri fans.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper has refused to sign a contract extension at boyhood club AC Milan, reportedly due to threats to himself and his family.
Donnarumma is first choice at the club and tipped as Gianluigi Buffon’s successor at international level, but has angered fans by refusing to put pen to paper.
Wads of fake money were thrown at the youngster, causing the match to be halted as it was cleared away, while supporters also hung a ‘Dollarumma’ banner behind his goal.
