Who wore number 50 in football?

There is nothing in and of itself “wrong” with the number; it is a byproduct of larger squads over 23 players.

Andrea Cambiaso

Andrea Cambiaso is an Italian professional footballer who is known as a full-back for Serie A club Genoa.

Rodrigo Becão

Rodrigo Nascimento França, or Rodrigo Becão, is a Brazilian professional footballer who is known for playing for Italian club Udinese Calcio.

Lazar Marković

Lazar Marković is a Serbian professional footballer who is known as a winger for Partizan.

He started his career at Partizan before moving to Benfica in 2013, where he won a domestic treble in his only season, after which he completed a £20 million move to Liverpool. He spent most of his time out on loan, at Fenerbahçe, Sporting CP, Hull City, Anderlecht and Fulham.

Marković made his full international debut for Serbia in 2012, earning over 20 caps.

Gianluigi Donnarumma

Gianluigi Donnarumma is an Italian professional footballer who is known as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Italy national team.

Coming through the team’s youth system, Donnarumma began his career with AC Milan in 2015, becoming one of the youngest goalkeepers to debut in Serie A, aged 16 years and 242 days; he immediately broke into the starting line-up, earning a reputation as arguably the most promising young goalkeeper in the world at the time. In 2021, Donnarumma moved to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

Internationally, Donnarumma is one of the youngest Italy under-21 players to play, aged 17 years and 28 days in March 2016. Six months later, he made his senior international debut, becoming one of the youngest goalkeepers to appear for Italy, aged 17 years and 189 days. Donnarumma represented Italy at UEFA Euro 2020, helping the team win the tournament and winning the Player of the Tournament award.

Long considered one of Italy’s most exciting prospects, and one of the most promising young footballers of his generation, Donnarumma is widely regarded as the successor to Gianluigi Buffon. Buffon himself has in turn praised the teenager’s physical strength and technical abilities, mental composure and decision making. Predicting an “extraordinary career” in his future, he commended Donnarumma’s maturity and ability to cope with the pressures of being a goalkeeper at such a young age. Another of Italy’s World Cup-winning goalkeepers, Dino Zoff, similarly said Donnarumma seems “predestined to become a great goalkeeper,” adding that “it all depends completely on him.” Former Milan and Italy goalkeeper Giovanni Galli also described Donnarumma as a potentially world-class goalkeeper, applauding him for his discipline, intelligence, concentration, and professionalism, despite his young age.

A 2015 ESPN profile praised Donnarumma’s fundamental goalkeeping skills, identifying his large slender frame and reach, agility, and composed nature as his biggest strengths; writer Nick Dorrington additionally described the teenager as “a natural leader with the necessary confidence to organise a defence featuring players twice his age.” Despite his tall and imposing stature, Donnarumma possesses good reactions, and is effective at stopping penalties. Matt Jones has also praised Donnarumma for his shot-stopping ability, and speed when rushing off his line to face opponents in one on one situations. Former Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati touted Donnarumma as a potential future captain for Milan in 2016, noting that Donnarumma’s temperament, introverted character, and ability to withstand pressure were all the necessary qualities needed for him to succeed in this role. Although Donnarumma is regarded as being competent with the ball at his feet, pundits such as Mina Rzouki, Paolo Menicucci, and Sam Lopresti, as well as former goalkeeper Fernando Orsi, have cited his ball control and distribution, as well as his overall consistency, positioning, handling, punching technique, and his ability to defend crosses and command his box as areas in which he needs to improve as he gains more experience.
