**Madrid, Spain** – Ahead of AC Milan’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday, goalkeeper Mike Maignan has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to overcome the reigning champions, downplaying the threat posed by Kylian Mbappe.

“Tomorrow will be a game against Kylian,” Maignan acknowledged. “We always talk, he’s a quality player, even if he’s going through a difficult patch at the moment. I have no doubt that he will do well.” However, Maignan insists that the focus for Milan is on collective strength, not individual battles. “Having experienced players helps, but we have to play with a family spirit,” he stressed.

The French international, who was ranked fifth in the recent Ballon d’Or awards for goalkeepers, is not fazed by the formidable Real Madrid challenge. “Football always brings adrenaline for me,” he said. “I’m enthusiastic playing against everyone, so for me, the best thing will be to win with my teammates.”

Maignan’s confidence stems from his own high self-belief. “If I don’t think I’m the best, nobody else is going to do it for me,” he declared. “I’m fifth in the top goalkeepers in the world, but I still have to improve. My priority is tomorrow’s match.”

The clash at the Santiago Bernabeu promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both sides boasting world-class talent and a hunger for victory.
