After Kylian Mbappé, the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castera and Antoine Griezmann, it is the turn of Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues, to support Mike Maignan. As a reminder, the French international goalkeeper of AC Milan was the target of racist chants this Saturday during a match against Udinese. “I give all my support to Mike Maignan. What our goalkeeper experienced yesterday in Udine is completely unacceptable. I completely understand his decision to leave the field.

Before adding: “Racist insults are unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Racism has no place anywhere and must be fought relentlessly.” Maignan decided, shortly after the hour mark, to leave the pitch.
