While Milan announces social silence for 24 hours “in support of Mike Maignan and the fight against racism,” the Rossoneri goalkeeper, who was the victim of racist insults during the game against Udinese that led to him leaving the pitch for a few minutes, publishes on his channels a long reflection on the events in the Friulian stadium.
Racist insults against Maignan, Infantino: “We need defeat by default.” Mbappé: “Same problems and never a solution”

Maignan: “Anyone who does nothing is an accomplice”
“Today it is an entire system that must assume its responsibilities: the perpetrators of these acts, because it is easy to act in a group in the anonymity of a forum; the spectators who were in the stands, who saw everything, who heard everything.” But whoever has chosen silence is complicit; the Udinese club, which only talked about stopping the game as if nothing had happened, is complicit; “The authorities and the public prosecutor are complicit in everything that happens if you do nothing, you too will be an accomplice.” writes Maignan. “It was not the player who was attacked, but the man, the father of the family.” And again: “I am not a victim” and “Thank you for the support, I see you and we are together”.
The (late) solidarity of Udinese
Guilty too late Message from Udinese: “Udinese Calcio deeply regrets and condemns any act of racism and violence. “We reiterate our opposition to any form of discrimination and express our deep solidarity with AC Milan player Mike Maignan in light of the unfortunate episode that occurred on Saturday in our stadium,” reads a statement from Juventus. Clubs. “Udinese will cooperate with all investigative authorities to ensure an immediate investigation of the incident, with the aim of taking all necessary measures to punish those responsible. As a club we will continue to work diligently, as we have always done “To promote diversity and inclusion of all ethnicities, cultures and languages among our players, staff, the city and a fan base that has always demonstrated fairness.”
