Mike Maignan
MILUndisputed No. 1 for France
Maignan has been named in France's World Cup squad and is expected to start almost every fixture for Les Bleus as coach Didier Deschamps' undisputed first choice between the posts.
Analysis: Maignan wraps up a standout club campaign as one of the most dominant goalkeepers in Serie A, pairing elite shot-stopping with a commanding aerial presence as he gears up to anchor what looks like a deep run for France in the tournament. With Brice Samba set to serve as his backup, the AC Milan keeper enters the competition firmly in the conversation as one of the top goalkeepers in the world and will be leaned on heavily as France chase a third World Cup title. His leadership and defensive organization elevate his impact, making him just as valuable with his distribution and communication as he is with his reflexes between the posts. Maignan also posted his highest clean sheet total since the 2021/2022 season with 13 this campaign and heads into the tournament in top form.
Nine saves against Cagliari
Maignan made nine saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Cagliari. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 58th minute.
Analysis: Maignan was decisive on multiple occasions in Sunday's 1-2 defeat to Cagliari on the final day of the Serie A season, producing several important interventions to keep his side in the match. The French goalkeeper was ultimately beaten twice by Gennaro Borrelli and Juan Rodriguez as AC Milan's hopes of returning to the UEFA Champions League came to an end at San Siro. Maignan finishes the 2025-26 Serie A season with 13 clean sheets, 108 saves and 35 goals conceded across 37 appearances, and he is expected to play a major role for France national football team at the FIFA World Cup in June.
One save in win
Maignan recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Genoa.
Analysis: Maignan was decisive in Sunday's 2-1 win at Genoa, producing his most important intervention late in the second half when Jeff Ekhator received a pass in behind the Milan back line and struck powerfully, with the French goalkeeper parrying the ball away to his left to prevent what would have been a costly equalizer in the race for a top-four finish. Maignan has now kept 13 Serie A clean sheets and made 99 saves across 36 appearances this season, and will look to carry that momentum into the final match of the campaign against Cagliari.
Allows three goals in Atalanta game
Maignan registered two saves and conceded three goals in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Atalanta.
Analysis: Maignan didn't have a great day as he could have done more in a pair of goals, and he had a poor save in particular on Giacomo Raspadori's one. He has blanked the opponents twice in the last four matches, giving up five goals and making 11 saves. Up next, Milan will face Genoa away.
Two saves in loss
Maignan had two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Sassuolo.
Analysis: Maignan faced only four shots during Sunday's loss, and stopped just two of them. It was a day to forget for the goalkeeper for the most part. He did have a nice save, but coming off such a disappointing loss it's a very thin silver lining. Maignan has three more matches to go in domestic action.
Keeps clean sheet versus Juventus
Maignan recorded five saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Juventus.
Analysis: Maignan had a robust number of saves but wasn't forced into any really superb ones. He has kept back-to-back clean sheets after conceding in four consecutive tilts. He has surrendered seven goals and made 20 saves in the last six rounds. Up next, Milan will face Sassuolo away Sunday.
Two saves in win
Maignan made two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Verona.
Analysis: Maignan turned aside each of the two Verona shots on goal Sunday to record a clean sheet and help lift AC Milan to a 1-0 road victory. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran goalkeeper has made 15 saves and three clearances while conceding seven goals. Maignan will be aiming for his fourth instance of successive clean sheets Sunday when AC Milan hosts Juventus.
