Mike Maignan among the best on the pitch in the Bernabeu match which saw Milan win 3-1 against Real Madrid. With his interventions, the French goalkeeper kept the Rossoneri afloat even in the most complicated moments. “There are also the imprints of his big hands in the triumph at the Bernabeu. Both in the first and second half he was called upon to make several saves. A couple of them saved the result”, the opinion of ‘TuttoMercatoWeb.com’.
This is the analysis from the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’: “He saves well three times from Mbappé and is attentive to the shots of Modric and Tchouameni. In the final he risks with his feet, but then defuses Brahim Diaz. Important.” “Displaced on Vinicius’ penalty, he saves everything on an Mbappe counterattack by putting his body into it. Miracle on Brahim”, adds the ‘Corriere dello Sport’.
Thus ‘TuttoSport’ on newsstands this morning: “Decisive on Mbappé just before half-time and, above all, on Brahim’s header in the middle of Real’s zone. Saved by the VAR on Rudiger’s goal, after coming out a bit like this.” This is the opinion of ‘Corriere della Sera’: “He twice erases the smile from Mbappé’s mouth and in the end seals a great performance by denying Diaz the goal.”
