Zlatan Ibrahimovic comforted Maignan after the World Cup semi-final, a moment captured on camera.
Yesterday was a bitter day for AC Milan players Maignan and Rabiot – their French team failed to achieve a third consecutive World Cup final appearance, being eliminated in the semi-finals by a superior Spanish side. The two Milan players' World Cup dreams have thus ended, and they will face the loser of the England-Argentina match in Miami at 11 PM Italian time on Saturday (5 AM Sunday Beijing time).
Maignan and Rabiot's disappointment was understandable. Milan captain and goalkeeper Maignan received comfort from his former teammate and current senior advisor to the Rossoneri, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in the tunnel of the Dallas stadium. A video posted on social media by Italian media outlet DAZN shows Maignan emerging from the locker room after showering, greeting Ibrahimovic as he approached, and the two then conversing as they walked towards the exit.
