In November 2022, Malick Thiaw made his starting debut for Pioli's Milan against Cremonese. At that particular moment, the team was without both full-backs and the German, in his debut, immediately won over the crowd and showed all his qualities. Now he acts almost as a talisman. When he was included in the starting lineup from the 1st minute, the Rossoneri only lost to Fiorentina and Udinese, writes MilanPress.it.
On the occasion of the return match, this time at San Siro, the German will again start from the first minute and lead the defence as he has already demonstrated during the current season. Furthermore, he feels at home in Milan and thanks to the contract that ties him to Milan until 2027, the Rossoneri will be able to enjoy this player for a long time.
Undoubtedly, what has made Malick Thiaw one of the favorite players of Milan fans were the two matches against Tottenham. The Champions League's round of 16 represented a sort of turning point in the season, which thanks to the performances of the German were successfully overcome, even managing to stop Harry Kane.
