Gianluigi Donnarumma will make his 200th Serie A appearance during today’s Milan Derby, shattering Gigi Buffon’s record aged just 21.

The Derby della Madonnina kicks off at 14.00 GMT, follow the build-up and action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.

Milan goalkeeper Donnarumma is marking a milestone in this huge fixture, as it will be his 200th Serie A appearance.

It arrives just shy of his 21st birthday, which is on February 25, so he’ll achieve it at the age of 21 years and 361 days.

That is shattering the previous record set by Gianluigi Buffon, who had to wait until he was 24 years and 83 days to hit 200 in the top flight.

Donnarumma made his debut during Milan’s 2-1 win over Sassuolo on October 25, 2015.

Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic surprised everyone by giving the schoolboy the gloves at San Siro at the age of just 16 years and eight months.

This will be Donnarumma’s 11th Milan Derby in all competition and so far he has won two, drawn three and lost five, conceding 18 goals and keeping two clean sheets.
