At the end of his contract, Mike Maignan has chosen his future club

AC Milan won the derby against Inter Milan this Sunday evening at the Giuseppe-Meazza, in a charged atmosphere. The Nerazzurri, led by Marcus Thuram, dominated possession in the first half, but failed to capitalize on their chances. The two teams returned to the locker rooms with a goalless draw, leaving the suspense hanging over the second half.

The turning point came shortly after the recovery. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring for the Rossoneri in the 54th minute, taking advantage of a Saelemaekers cross shot deflected by Sommer. From that moment on, Mike Maignan became the real hero of the match, making several decisive saves and preventing Inter from coming back.
