AC Milan's Serie A match against Udinese was briefly suspended after players walked off the pitch due to racist chanting directed at goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who has previously experienced racial abuse in Italy. Maignan informed the referee about alleged monkey chants, prompting the announcer to ask fans to stop. The match resumed with Maignan back in goal, and AC Milan won 3-2.

Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappé expressed support for Maignan and called for an end to racism.
