It was a very special night for Mike Maignan. Last year in Udine he was the protagonist of a shameful episode of racism: the first half of the match was in progress when the continuous booing led him to leave the field and interrupt the game. The game resumed after a while but that moment unfortunately remained etched in everyone’s mind. A rancor that continued over the months and even in the days immediately preceding today’s match in Friuli with the banner “Maignan man of shit**” displayed on the streets of Udine.
Since the warm-up of tonight’s match, Maignan was targeted with booing, booing, and insults: this went on for a long time, eventually leading to a moment of surrender on the part of the Friulians after a clash on the field between Maignan and Alex Jimenez. An ugly image that made everyone fear the worst: the goalkeeper left on a stretcher amid the applause of the crowd, reciprocated by Mike’s teammates.

Maignan, after the collision, went straight to the locker room on a stretcher. According to what has been gathered by the MilanLive.it editorial staff, the goalkeeper suffered a head injury: the good news is that he never lost consciousness and it was decided to take him immediately to the hospital to undergo the usual checks and rule out any kind of serious problem.

In short, Maignan is fine, and now there is a wait for the test results and then an immediate return to Milan in the next few hours. Only after that could we have a clearer idea about the recovery time. In his place came Marco Sportiello and the substitution did not have any kind of consequence on the outcome of the match. Milan, perhaps for the first time since the new year began, played a solid game and brought home three points and also a good performance. 4-0 was the final result, but it was a victory that served little purpose.
Milan is still in ninth place, but the good news is that the derby between Roma and Lazio will be played over the weekend, and it is an opportunity to salvage a few points from a Europa League perspective, for what it’s worth. The Rossoneri’s season is practically over: the only match worth mentioning is the return semifinal against Inter, scheduled for April 23. They will restart from the 1-1 draw in the first leg.
