FOOTBALL AC Milan goalkeeper Maignan confronts racist monkey noises in Serie A clash
AC Milan's Mike Maignan walked off the pitch in protest against racist monkey noises during a Serie A match.
“Some say we think we own the continent, or tell me to delete my words (which I won't – if it bothers you, just ignore it), as if we're no longer a threat, and sadly, we're proving them right. It's time to rediscover our ferocity, determination, and Hèmlé, to stand out again. It's absurd to be mere bystanders when we should be at the forefront,” he added indicating a call to action for the team to reignite their passion and skill on the field.
Cameroon's current struggles can be attributed to a variety of factors. The absence of Vincent Aboubakar, the 2022 Golden Boot winner, due to injury, has left a gaping hole in the team's offensive lineup.
Karl Toko Ekambi, who has been a reliable striker over the years, has not been able to fill this void, further exacerbating the team's goal-scoring woes.
