Maignan, the miracle

Mike Maignan made an incredible save from an attempt by Arnaud Kalimuendo on Thursday during the Europa League return play-off between Stade Rennais and AC Milan.

After Théo Hernandez’s decisive pass, which allowed Luka Jovic to equalize (22nd) by responding to Benjamin Bourigeaud’s opener (11th), it was another French international from AC Milan, Mike Maignan , who shone during this Europa League return play-off, Thursday evening at Roazhon Park (3-0 victory for the Lombard team in the first leg).

The Rossoneri goalkeeper found himself taking a powerful full-axis shot from Arnaud Kalimuendo (27th) out of his goal. The Rouge et Noir striker was unable to adjust his shot and hit directly at the French team goalkeeper.
