After seven seasons, AC Milan is back in the Champions League. On Tuesday evening, he will play at home against Atlétic Madrid. And this is not the only emotional return that the Rossoners experience.
On Saturday, Daniel Maldini entered their shooting list in their jersey. The 19-year-old forward contributed a 2: 1 win over Spezia. Three points are valuable, but the return of the famous name to San Siro is of incalculable value to AC.

His son Paolo is currently the sports director of AC. He watched Daniel’s son’s first goal from the stands. He completed 902 matches in a red and black jersey. In the showcase I have five trophies of the Champions League and European Super Cups or seven from Serie A.
“My father places high demands on me, but in the first place it will always be a dime for me,” Daniel Maldini smiled after the fight with Spezia.
