16 Year Old Paolo Maldini’s Milan Debut Appearance 1 of 902 for Milan 🔴⚫️

Udinese vs Milan | January 20, 1985
On a cold and windy day at the Stadio Friuli, the history of AC Milan changed forever. Facing an injury to Sergio Battistini, manager Nils Liedholm turned to a 16-year-old on the bench and asked where he preferred to play. The teenager replied, "I would like to play as right-back," and stepped onto the pitch for the second half to begin a legendary 25-season journey.
