This month is an emotional one for milan fans like me because our hero Paolo Maldini hangs up his legendary boots after 25 years of service unrivalled in terms of loyalty and sheer class of the performances. Maldini is the perfect example for a one club man as he has completed a long journey from the youth academy to this match in that one jersey giving his heart and soul in every match he played .In his distinguished career he has won everything possible at Milan . Seven scudetti, Five champions league titles,5 Uefa super cups,1 coppa italia, 2 intercontinental cups and 1 FIFA club world cup. Sadly he had no luck with the italian national team ending up on the losing side even after great tournaments
.Well on a personal note Maldini was one of the primary reasons i chose Milan as my club .He had a whole aura around him which makes just take notice. His sliding tackle for me was more joyous to watch then any flashy attacking move. He made defending an art form which so few can claim to have mastered .I dont think i Can blindly call him the best player ever because there are so many aspects to deciding that and a decsion must be reached without thinking like a fan. But i can most certainly call him 'my favourite player' because of the player that he is and what he has done for the club .Watching Milan without him will be unthinkable but i have to move on and so do so many Rossoneri. Maldini is not just not a mere player , he is an extraordinary leader and i know that there wont be anyone ever who will wear the armband like Paolo Maldini has.. farewell Paolo , you may retire from the game but never from our hearts
GRAZIE IL '3' CAPITANO
his last moments on the field
