The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Twenty-five seasons, one club, one position mastered so completely that Milan retired the number when he finally left at 41. Maldini turned loyalty into an argument - proof that you didn't need to move to be the best, just to never stop.

Born 26 June 1968, Paolo Maldini joined AC Milan and never left, spending all 25 years of his career at left-back and centre-back for the Rossoneri. He captained both Milan and Italy for years, earning the nickname "Il Capitano" and piling up 26 trophies - five Champions League titles, seven Serie A crowns, and a cabinet's worth of cups and Super Cups. He made his Italy debut in 1988 and played 126 times across four World Cups and three Euros, reaching finals in 1994 and 2000 but never lifting the trophy. He came second for FIFA World Player of the Year in 1995, third for the Ballon d'Or twice, and was named Best Defender at 39 before retiring in 2009 with 902 Milan appearances and a place in Pelé's FIFA 100. From 2018 to 2023 he returned as Milan's sporting director.
