Mike Maignan has been a crucial player ever since he arrived at AC Milan and after becoming the No.1 goalkeeper for France, he has been just as important for them. This was highlighted once again last time out.
Maignan played the entire game against Ireland and his side prevailed 2-0, keeping yet another clean sheet. It was the goalkeeper’s fifth consecutive clean sheer and that hasn’t happened since 2007, as per France’s official Twitter.
It’s not like the Milan man is getting all the protection from his defender either, as evidenced by a very sweaty save towards the end of the Ireland clash (see video below). Indeed, he’s now one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
He will not feature in the friendly game against Germano on Tuesday as he underwent some therapy in the gym yesterday. It’s nothing serious and he will certainly be available for the derby against Inter on Saturday evening.
