Maignan affair: Philippe Diallo in turn condemns racism

Following the racist acts suffered by Mike Maignan, a wave of indignation has swept over what happened last night at Udinese’s Stadio Friuli. Philippe Diallo, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), spoke this Sunday to The Team against the racism his player suffered. He also deplores what happened in Italy: “I condemn with the greatest firmness the racist insults of which Mike Maignan was the victim. He knows that he can count on the support and solidarity of the FFF in this fight that we must win. »

Since yesterday, the goalkeeper of the France team has received a lot of messages of support, including his teammates with the Blues Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé. Mike Maignan himself wanted to launch a rant against racism in football stadiums.
