Can Paolo Maldini make it Milan's seventh CL title?

What more can be said about this truly great player? Durability under duress. As he enters his fourth decade, Maldini maybe a bit slower but the fact that he can or cannot play for Milan makes the news. Milan is Maldini and Maldini is Milan. The name Maldini is an anagram of Di Milan ("of Milan"). One club, 23 years, 800+ games, 7 Serie titles, and 4 CL titles. Repeat after me.

Maldini has been struggling with a knee injury but coach Carlo Ancelotti has not ruled him out for the finals. It would be a sweet swansong for Maldini if Milan wins the CL title as he has indicated that this might be his final season.

If Maldini was a stock, then there would be no recession.
