"Mike Maignan believes that it is 'too early' for AC Milan to dream too much, but insists that they are on the right path. Milan ground out a very important win against Roma at San Siro on Sunday night, with Maignan part of a heroic rearguard effort. The only goal came from that defensive line too, with Strahinja Pavlovic getting it not long before the break as he bombed forward to meet Rafael Leao's cut-back."
"Roma put the Milan goal under siege in the final part of the game, and Maignan was called upon to make a decisive intervention 10 minutes from time. Youssouf Fofana gave away a penalty for handball, and yet the Frenchman guessed the right way to stop Paulo Dybala's spot kick."
"These are three important points, like every point we have to earn. Since the start of the season, we've been trying to fight for every second on the pitch. By playing like this together, we can only achieve positive results. It's too early to dream, it's November. We're compact, united. We just have to take it game by game. We have big goals, yes, but we have to play it straight, game by game. It was a decisive moment for the team. I was confident, my team-mates had faith in me. I'm happy with what I gave to the team."
It is considered too early in the season for AC Milan to dream about title ambitions while the team is on the right path. Milan secured a 1-0 win over Roma at San Siro thanks to Strahinja Pavlovic's forward run and finish from Rafael Leao's cut-back just before half-time. Roma dominated late and won a penalty after Youssouf Fofana's handball, but the goalkeeper saved Paulo Dybala's spot-kick to preserve the clean sheet. The result puts Milan level on points with Roma and one behind Napoli. The squad emphasizes unity, compactness, and taking matches game by game.
