While Paris Saint-Germain won without much difficulty on the Orléans pitch in the Coupe de France, an unfortunate episode affected Italian football this Saturday evening. At the end of the first period between Udinese and AC Milan, Mike Maignan (28 years old) was the victim of racist cries coming from the stands of the Bluenergy Stadium. Furious, the French goalkeeper and his teammates then decided to stop playing and return to the locker room. While the match was interrupted for ten minutes, the Lombard club players returned to the pitch and the match was able to resume.

And the end was beautiful since the Rossoneri won at the very end of the match (3-2). But this incident did not go unnoticed in France, since PSG striker Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) was quick to react very quickly on social networks to support the French goalkeeper, just like his Milan teammate Rafael Leão on Instagram. “You are very far from being alone Mike Maignan. We are all with you. Still the same problems and still NO solution. Enough is enough !!!!!!!!!!!! NO TO RACISM”released the 2018 world champion to his friend in the French team.
