Maignan is no longer just AC Milan's goalkeeper but since Saturday he has been the No. 1 in the fight against racism in stadiums

Since last Saturday the life of Mike Maignan, the doorman of the Milan which in France they call "Magic eagle” for the spectacular nature of his dives but also for his leadership skills, he is no longer the same. It changed when she combined anger with courage and stormed the Udine pitch to protest against the shame of racist chants which rained down on him throughout the match. The match was temporarily suspended and in solidarity the whole of Milan followed him to the changing rooms. But from that moment on, Milan's no.1 (even though he wears the no.16 on his shirt) has become the no.1 in the fight against racism in stadiums. Also for the toughness, courage and pride of his words: “It is not the player who was attacked, but the man, the father of the family. Thats enough. Teams and judges must assume their responsibilities or they will be complicit. Very strong sanctions are needed, because talking is no longer useful." Sacrosanct words which we hope will be followed this time by exemplary sanctions against the authors of the racist chants. But one thing is certain: in football the loneliness of the goalkeeper is almost inevitable because he is the most exposed and closest to the public. But since Saturday Maignan is no longer alone: ​​civilized people and true sportsmen are all with him. Great Mike
