Maignan Derby Save: Milan Goalkeeper’s Stunning Stop

During the Milan derby, Mike Maignan took the opportunity to deal us a fatal blow. It’s been so long since we were calm during a penalty with the France team. A bygone era.

Mike Maignan, an inspiration never to be reproduced

It is the poster child for the Italian championship every year. Between Inter Milan and AC Milan, the derby of the Madonna shakes up the whole of Italy every year. And this season again, Interists and Milanese put on a show. If Christian Pulisic was not asked to open the score for the Rossoneri, its captain Mike Maignan decided to take the light as well. And in what way.

While the Inter players obtain a penalty with a quarter of an hour to go, Maignan must divert it if he wants his team to preserve their advantage in the score. Çalhanoglu rushes forward, and finds the firm hand of the tricolor goalkeeper, who relaxes at full length to repel both the Turk’s attempt, and a second to ward off the danger. Single-handedly, Mike Maignan has just caused a long sleepless night for all Nerazzurri.
