Still only 20, Maldini was already an established member of Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan side, playing alongside Franco Baresi in a defence that would become synonymous with one of the club’s greatest eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThat season Milan returned to the summit of European football.

He would go on to spend his entire senior career with Milan, inherit the captaincy from Baresi and become one of the most decorated and recognisable players in the club’s history.
