Milan captain Mike Maignan has come under heavy criticism following his dismissal in Thursday’s 3-0 Europa League defeat to Bournemouth. According to Calciomercato.it, the goalkeeper’s conduct has sparked intense debate among supporters.
AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan faces intense scrutiny after being sent off during a 3-0 Europa League defeat to Bournemouth. Referee Fotis Fotias dismissed the French captain in the 27th minute for placing both hands on Tyler Adams' face during a corner kick. The incident also resulted in a penalty, leaving manager Ruben Amorim's team with an insurmountable challenge.
Maignan defended his actions by claiming he unintentionally made contact while trying to clear space, though he admitted it set a poor example for young supporters. The goalkeeper will be suspended for the upcoming European match against Ferencvaros but remains eligible for Sunday's Serie A fixture against Udinese.
