A Serie A fixture between Udinese and AC Milan was temporarily suspended following racist chants directed at AC Milan’s goalkeeper, Mike Maignan. The French shot-stopper reported the abuse to the match official, which led to a 10-minute interruption of the game.
Maignan, who is under contract with AC Milan, took the decision to leave the pitch in response to the discriminatory chants. After a pause in play, the goalkeeper returned to the field, and the match resumed.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many expressing solidarity with Maignan. The league is expected to investigate the matter further.
