Maignan made a big save in the first half to deny Mhkitaryan who had burst through on goal, just before Milan scored the only goal of the game through Estupinan. The Frenchman racked up his second clean sheet in two games against Inter this season.
The captain showed his leadership skills too, as he often does before big games. Milan’s official social media channels published Maignan’s speech to the team in a huddle near the centre circle before kick-off.
Rather than firing them up too much, he told his team-mates: “Together, boys, together. No emotions. Stay tight. Cold-blooded. Stay in the game. On the field, we knew what to do. Let’s go, together!”
