Maignan's save was not an isolated incident, as he has made several big saves recently, including in the previous game against Bournemouth.

The 'Magic Mike' nickname gained prominence during that successful campaign.
The report emphasizes Maignan's importance to AC Milan's success, suggesting that his return to form is a positive sign for the team. With Maignan performing at his best, Milan are 'right to dream' about achieving their goals. The comparison to 'Batman' underscores his crucial role in the team's defense.

Source context
Against Inter, Diego Moreira took the headlines, but Mike Maignan filled the pages of reports thanks to his save for AC Milan. Derbies are normally decided by goals, which is why Moreira was this fixture’s poster boy. However, it may have been an Inter man on the front page if it weren’t for Maignan; it must be said. As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, ‘when Maignan is magic, Milan don’t lose’ and it’s tough to disagree. Indeed, after the Bournemouth game, he has again proven his worth with some big saves in the derby. Without him, Djed Spence probably scores and who knows how the game would play out from there.
