That was Lille’s first title in a decade.After a sensational campaign, Maignan moved to AC Milan, signing a five-year contract, albeit Rossoneri were title-less just like Lille since 2010-11.Mike Maignan bringing back the glory days 💪🇫🇷 last season: Lille’s first title in a decade 🏆🇮🇹 this season: AC Milan’s first title in a decade 🏆 pic.twitter.com/yv34A7V7rQ— 433 (@433) May 24, 2022 So what he did?
