The debut, the band, the triumphs: Maldini’s 10 most beautiful postcards

The story is clear: 54 years of age, almost 40 spent in Milan, first as a player and then as a manager. Paolo Maldini joined the Rossoneri youth squad in 1978 and remained there until 2009, the year of his farewell to football. On July 5, 2018 he returned to the management team. This year he won his first championship as technical director, after the seven he won as a player (not counting the five Champions / Cups of Champions …). Let’s retrace the ten best moments, obviously starting from the debut in Udine: 16 years old and two excited eyes as big as this. On January 20, 1985 Paolo Maldini is still “the son of Cesare”, the Rossoneri flag. Against Udinese, in Friuli, he goes on the bench with the number 14 in place of the injured Tassotti. First call. The rest is history: Battistini gets hurt and Liedholm makes him enter at 45 ‘as right-back. The match ends 1-1, and the Baron at the end of the match declares: “This boy has a great future”. Nothing more true.
