Udinese bans for life 4 individuals guilty of racist cries towards Mike Maignan

If AC Milan won 10 against 11 yesterday against Udinese (1-0), this small feat takes second place this morning. As revealed by the Italian newspaper Il MessaggeroMike Maignan was once again the victim of racist cries, like last season during a Rossoneri trip to the Stadio Friuli, where monkey cries resounded. As a reminder, the Frenchman had complained, and the Italian League had recorded the temporary closure of the Udinese stand for two days.

Yesterday, the racist chants this time occurred at San Siro, when Maignan turned his back on the visiting supporters in the second half. “Today it’s just a greeting, in Udine it will be a real tribute”also indicated a banner displayed by visiting supporters. If it was directly intended for a Udinese supporter, who died suddenly this week, the Italian press interprets it in a double sense… As if it were a way of warning Maignan of who was going to be waiting for him at least in April, during the return match.
