We hope to win the next one.”Maldini made his debut 35 years after his father Paolo and 66 after his grandfather Cesare. His grandfather Cesare, who died in 2016, played for 12 seasons with the club, winning four league titles and the European Cup. The 51-year-old Maldini played his final game on May 31, 2009, and is currently technical director of the northern Italian side, who are eighth in the league.
