The French goalkeeper is enjoying his best form since being at Milan and Allegri has made him one of the cornerstones of the dressing room, however his contract expiring puts him in an uncomfortable situation…
Those wide arms – set partly with technical expertise and partly with the strength of desperation -, which walled Gatti within a few centimeters at the Stadium, were worth a six. Six like the clean sheets that Milan have put together in the first eight games of the season. Clean sheet: two magic words that make the coach proud and the goalkeeper happy. Mike Maignan wasn’t smiling in front of the cameras at the end of Juve-Milan, but he knew he had been decisive: without his miracle, the Devil would have risked a cruel mockery. That save, however, in addition to ensuring that Milan left Turin with at least one point, turned the spotlight back on a player destined to be talked about in the coming weeks. Especially for off-field reasons.
