I hope this is some sort of sick joke.
Whoever is stopping Maldini from joining Milan should do the admirable thing and leave, he is Milan, you don't close doors on him.
Oh god this place goes from one extreme to the other. He wasn't great but get a grip, he isn't the first and won't be the last defender to struggle against the best attacking team in the world. Give him a break.
Undoubtably, he was our best defender that year, well, he was our most consistent - he was in outstanding physical shape for a 41 year old as well, he's a machine.
