Yesterday evening, AC Milan was held in check against Bologna (2-2), during the 22nd day of Serie A. The Lombard club returned to its San Siro grounds after the racist insults against Mike Maignan against Udinese. So, to pay tribute to the 28-year-old goalkeeper, San Siro decided to make a special gesture.

Indeed, as the club indicated on its official website, “Every fan actively engaged in the initiative, transforming the stadium into a sea of ​​light with the torches on their smartphones. This collective act accompanied the projection of a poignant quote from Martin Luther King on the big screen: Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do it. Hatred cannot drive out hatred; only love can do it!” The message got through.
