“It’s Daniel Maldini’s night, making his debut as a starter in Dortmund, almost 23 years after dad Paolo’s last one. It was June 18, 2002 in Daejeon, World Cup in Japan and Korea, Trapattoni’s Italy surrendered in extra time and referee Moreno. A scandalous page. The former AC Milan captain, son of Cesare, closed with the national team 126 games and 14 years after his debut. Gigi Buffon was the Azzurri goalkeeper, today he is an executive and yesterday he accompanied Maldini junior to the Westfalenstadion. He will protect and advise him. Spalletti is banking on it. He has been waiting for him for some time, convinced that the move to Atalanta could only benefit him.” ‘Il Corriere dello Sport’ writes this on newsstands.
