The German corrects Gudmundsson’s cross on goal and puts Maignan for the third time in this championship
There is no limit to the worst in Milan’s tormented season, to which just 7 ‘of the match against Fiorentina are enough to touch up yet another negative record of a championship to forget. The protagonist Malick Thiaw who, by putting in his door the cross of Gudmundsson in the clumsy attempt to anticipate Kean, flies at the head of the ranking of the Serie A’s own goal. For the German it is in fact the third seasonal goal after the two – sensational – against Turin between round trip. Behind him Lautaro Giannetti dell’Udinese, stopped at 2. And then 28 other players, all at 1.

That the Thiaw season would be complicated had been understood immediately. Ready-via and, when the championship debut, the first own goal. We are in mid -August and the Rossoneri host the bull. At half an hour the grenades attack from the left, Zapata crosses for Bellanova who – headed by the pallus to the right of Maignan. The ball dances on the line, Thiaw rushes to sweep it but, incomprehensibly, drags it into the door. It is the first goal suffered by the Rossoneri in the championship, a prelude to a anything but peaceful journey. The second own goal always comes against the grenades, in the return match to the Olimpico Grande Torino. Also this time the carambola is at the limits of the absurd: launch from the defense of Pedersen, Thiaw protects the release of Maignan who – instead of backing down and going in the grip – opts for a first intention relaunch. Result? Ball that slams on the German chest, go back and put it mocking on the net for the advantage of the grenade (which will then win 2-1). Against Fiorentina then arrived the third Actise in 21 appearances, an exact average of one every 7 games. Not exactly a skill to be proud of.
