Has Théo Hernandez been troubled by extra-sporting problems for many months? As a reminder, a former paparazzi, the sulphurous Fabrizio Corona, accused the left side of AC Milan and the French team of having hit two women in a nightclub, during a trip in the company of ‘Olivier Giroud, in January 2025. The establishment in the Lombard capital would have claimed 90,000 euros for the damage caused and to delete the video surveillance images. The leaders of the Rossoneri thus tried to cover up the affair…
On the field, the French international had a very disappointing first part of the season compared to his standards, he who was one of the big men of the scudetto of 2022. Offensively, the once untenable left back is two goals and two assists in Serie A (and was not decisive in the Champions League). Lucas’ little brother is no longer essential in the France team since he remained on the bench during the Blues’ decisive match in the Nations League against Italy (1-3 victory).
Hernandez leaves the armband
Théo Hernandez lost the captain’s armband of Milan, as decided by Sérgio Conceiçao, Paulo Fonseca’s successor on the team’s bench. For AC Milan’s first match of the year, in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup against Juventus, Friday evening in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), it was Mike Maignan who was promoted to captain. A great reward for the club’s immense goalkeeper since his arrival in 2021. Théo Hernandez was until then vice-captain behind Davide Calabria and therefore started most of the time with the armband since the defender is not a starter.
Théo Hernandez was once again singled out by Rossoneri followers during Juventus’ opening score on Friday evening. The 27-year-old French international is a little lost on a deep pass from Samuel Mbangula for Kenan Yildiz, who scored strongly in Maignan (21st). The winner of this calcio classic will challenge Inter in the final of the competition, the reigning Serie A champion having beaten Atalanta the day before (2-0).
