Maignan becomes first Milan player dismissed in European competition

Published on: 25 October 2026

Mike Maignan has become the first player in AC Milan’s history to be sent off during a match in a European tournament.

The France goalkeeper received a red card in a European fixture, creating a unique moment in the Rossoneri’s record. Although dismissals involving Milan players in continental competition are rare, the incident prompted statisticians and supporters to search the club’s archives for a similar case.

Their review found none: Maignan is the first Milan player to be shown a red card in a European tournament match.

Maignan has played for Milan since 2021.
