Ex-AC Milan keeper Galli: Maignan already best in the world

Former AC Milan goalkeeper Giovanni Galli has hailed the quality of Mike Maignan.

Maignan was again impressive for Tuesday night's Champions League success at Napoli. Maignan saved a penalty in the 1-1 draw as Milan reached the semifinals 2-1 on aggregate.

Galli said: "The confidence of his teammates is impressive, they seem to say to the opponents: 'Try it, we have Mike' anyway".

"A mental serenity: he was out for 5 months and was decisive again immediately.

"He has had an excellent journey, he and (Thibaut) Courtois are the best in the world. And he has already written his story in the pages of a glorious club."
