Then the following season we won the Scudetto with probably the most underwhelming team of them all. 7 points behind Lazio with 7 games to go. Everyone considered it over. Then, we won. It's one of my best memories.
Maldini is a true symbol of the club. He has been associated with the club for as long as I've been alive. I don't know a Milan without Maldini. Still,even he knows, then Milan is above everything and above everyone. And when the time comes to be judged, everyone will be, including Maldini himself.
But one thing is absolutely for sure with no question whatsoever. Everything he does, is for the good of Milan. There are very few people in football like Maldini. Gotta say...as much traveled as he's been, Gattuso is another one. The club he works for/plays for, always comes first. These are men of stature. Men of principles. And I hate to bring this up in this thread because it doesn't deserve to be....but the fact we did what we did with Maignan and Donnarumma, is because what Donnarumma and Raiola did was without principles. Without consideration for the club. And Maldini stepped in to make make sure the club will not be exploited by anyone.
