"After the game against Pisa, there has been a considerable focus on Mike Maignan's record against penalties, with him only saving one penalty in his last 16 faced."
"If I were in goal, I would have saved your penalty. I knew you were going to shoot at the near post. I said: 'If he [Maignan] dives at the near post, he'll save it.'"
AC Milan conceded a penalty against Pisa, continuing a recent run of struggles from the spot. The team's scoring problems from penalties have been notable in recent years and were reignited by Christian Pulisic's miss against Juventus. The issues extend beyond takers, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan having saved only one of his last 16 penalties faced. The advantage usually lies with the taker, but Maignan's current run raises questions about his penalty readiness. After the match, Massimiliano Allegri teased Juan Cuadrado, saying he would have saved the effort and that he anticipated a near-post attempt.
