"Being captain is a responsibility, and I'm proud to be one: in a group of twenty or thirty players, there's only one. You don't play a role, you have to be yourself and set an example. That's what I try to do every day, without abusing the armband or the status. If they gave me the armband, it's because of who I am."
"AC Milan is where I showed myself to the world. Wearing this shirt is something you have to experience to understand. Every time we play, the Club's greatness is clear. From the moment we step into Milanello, we give everything."
"I started the season with a strong desire to make up for last year. That mindset has been with me from day one, and it still drives me today."
Mike Maignan joined AC Milan in summer 2021 from Lille, replacing Gianluigi Donnarumma. He quickly won over supporters by securing the Scudetto in his first season and earning the nickname 'Magic Mike' through decisive saves and charismatic leadership. Recently renewing his contract, Maignan has become one of Europe's best goalkeepers. A new DAZN documentary titled 'Beyond the Magic' features Maignan discussing his role as captain, emphasizing that leadership means being authentic and setting daily examples. He describes captaincy as both responsibility and pride, noting he felt like a captain before receiving the armband. Maignan expresses deep connection to the Milan shirt, viewing it as a platform that showed him to the world and representing the club's greatness.
