Bosnian ball-boy: Yes, I nicked Donnarumma's penalty instructions! He was angry

The young boy who stole Gigio Donnarumma's penalty instructions last week has become an instant Bosnian national hero.

Italy were beaten by Bosnia on penalties in their World Cup qualifying playoff.

Before the shootout, 14 year-old ball-boy Afan Cizmic nicked Manchester City goalkeeper Donnarumma's written penalty instructions which were on a small piece of paper next to the goal frame.

Cizmic, who plays for local team Celik Zenica, was interviewed by local TV and admitted: "I saw something near Donnarumma's towel and I immediately knew what it was, so I took it and hid it.

"Without that piece of paper, which contained the information about our players, I had to use my intuition.

"Donnarumma was very disappointed and angry when he looked for the piece of paper and couldn't find it."

Such has been the response since Cizmic's admission that the stolen paper is expected to raise a hefty price with an auction now planned.
