Paolo Maldini will watch on today as sons Daniel and Christian face off, with Milan playing Pro Piacenza in a friendly.


The Rossoneri legend recently returned to Milan as a director, confirming his family’s endless bond with the club.

Father Cesare was both player and Coach with the Diavolo, while Paolo’s sons came up through the youth academy.

Christian is a centre-back aged 22 and he is currently on loan to Pro Piacenza.

He starts today’s friendly match against Milan at the Milanello training ground.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old forward Daniel is on the bench for Gennaro Gattuso’s Milan and expected to make his debut in the second half.

Milan retired the Number 3 jersey and pledged to bring it back only when the next generation of Maldini was ready to wear it.
