Around half an hour into the Udinese-Milan match, it was interrupted. The reason? During a goal kick, Mike Maignan was overwhelmed by the racist insults from the Friuli fans that made the former Lille player lose his temper, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. The Milan goalkeeper decided to leave the goal and go to the side of the pitch where he made clear his intention not to continue like this. After a few minutes, with his teammates surrounding him as a shield, demonstrating the strong bond within the team.
Udinese-Milan suspended, what happened
After standing on the sidelines for about two minutes, the goalkeeper even returned to the tunnel of the locker rooms, taking off his gloves. A clear gesture that showed his intention not to play anymore in such a situation. Maresca, who had been warned, decided to stop everything and calm the situation, with Adli and the other teammates of Maignan who convinced him to resume the game. A brave choice, that of the Milan goalkeeper who resumed position between the goalposts, despite the look fully representing his terrible mood.
