Unmissable AC Milan player since 2021 and determining during the title of Italian champion in 2022, Mike Maignan may live his last months with the Rossoneri. The goalkeeper number 1 of the French team is under contract until 2026 in Lombardy and the Italian press no longer discusses an extension but a departure after the season. At 29, Maignan may join another big European club this summer. The opportunity to continue playing the Champions League elsewhere, because it's very badly gone for Milan…

Author of a disappointing season in the championship as in C1 (elimination in play-offs against Feyenoord), the training of Sérgio Conceiçao bowed on the field of Napoli (2-1), during the shock of the 30th day of Serie A. The Partenopei were obliged to win a few hours after the success of Inter against Udinese (2-1). They won 2-1 to return to three points from the Nerazzurri, the leaders in the ranking.

Maignan could not do anything on the two Neapolitan goals, completely released by its defenders each time. Matteo Politano opened the entry score of a powerful half-volley from the left (2nd) then Romelu Lukaku, covered in the surface by Kyle Walker, also had all the freedom to adjust the goalkeeper formed at PSG (19th).

Théo Hernandez Decisive passer

AC Milan then reacted well by dominating the residents of the Maradona. But Santiago Gimenez missed a penalty in front of Alex Meret (69th) and Luka Jovic did not relaunch the suspense until the 84th minute on a center with the cord of Théo Hernandez (84th). Antonio Conte's men then held good before celebrating with their audience.

Milan finds himself 9th in the ranking with nine points behind Bologna and the qualifying top 4 for the LDC. Juventus, Roma, Fiorentina and Lazio are respectively 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th, which leaves little margin to the Rossoneri for a European qualification. It will absolutely be necessary to relaunch next weekend against Viola.
