This Saturday, AC Milan snatched victory on the field of Udinese (2-3). But what we will remember from this meeting is the new racist scandal in Italy. Victim of inappropriate insults, Mike Maignan had enough and ended up leaving the field. Benefiting from multiple supports, the French international spoke again this Sunday. And Maignan is quite cheered up by this deleterious climate.
Unfortunately, this is repeated too often, especially in Italy. This Saturday, while the Milan AC faced theUdinese, the meeting was stopped for several minutes. The reason ? Racist cries made against Mike Maignan. This is not the first time that this has happened to the Milan goalkeeper and facing theUdinese, it was obviously too much for the French international. Accompanied by his teammates, Maignan indeed left the field. The player of Milan AC subsequently returned, winning the match. But anger is present among the Milanese.
“If you do nothing, YOU WILL ALSO BE COMPLICATED”
In a message posted on X, Mike Maignan reacted to the events that happened this Saturday in front of theUdinese. Annoyed, the doorman Milan AC then blurted out: “ It was not the player who was attacked. It’s the man. He’s the father of the family. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me. And I’m not the first this has happened to. We issued press releases, advertising campaigns, protocols and nothing has changed. Today, an entire system must take responsibility: The perpetrators of these acts, because it is easy to act in a group, in the anonymity of a platform. ⁃The spectators who were in the stand, who saw everything, who heard everything but who chose to remain silent, you are complicit. ⁃The Udinese club, which only spoke of an interruption of the match, as if nothing had happened, you are complicit. ⁃The authorities and the prosecutor, with everything that is happening, if you do nothing, YOU WILL ALSO BE COMPLICOUS ».

“It’s a fight we will win”
« I have already told you and if it bears repeating: I am not a VICTIM. And I want to say thank you to my club AC Milan, to my teammates, to the referee, to the Udinese players and to everyone who sent me messages, who called me, who supported privately and publicly. I can’t answer everyone but I see you and we are TOGETHER. It is a difficult fight, which will take time and courage. But it’s a fight we will win “, has followed Mike Maignan.
