AC Milan and Italy legend Paolo Maldini has revealed that South American sensations Diego Maradona and Ronaldo were the toughest opponents he ever had to face. Maldini made his debut for the Rossoneri in 1985, and three years later lifted the first of seven Serie A titles with his only club at the expense of Maradona's Napoli, who finished second. The previous season the club had obtained the Scudetto for the first time in their history thanks to the little Argentine's magic, and Maldini and Maradona went on to face each other numerous times at club and international level over the years.

Maldini without a doubt one of the best defenders ever knows his shit. :hail:

Only a matter of time before PSG's frightening due of Mbappe and Neymar reach those heights. Going to carry PSG for many years to come now

Players with most completed dribbles in a single world cup campaign. Came across this on Twitter. Not sure how accurate the data is.

Still, not surprised. Garrincha might be the most underrated legend. He's rarely talked about. A top-10 player in football history.
