The Champions League quarterfinal between AC Milan and Bayern Munich remains floating after the 2-2 finish in the first leg of the bit - Milan may be the small fry going into the second leg tonight but for the determined veteran Paolo Maldini it is just customary.
Pablo Maldini is widely regarded as the greatest defender of all times, arguably paramount when at the peak of his career, a coolheaded character and influential captain is in his 23rd season with the Rossoneri - he believes tonight’s quarter-final match against Munich could be his final Champions League appearance if Milan fails to win.
The 38 year old, in pursuit of his fifth-Champions League title, having announced his retirement at the end of the season is well versed with the ramifications of a defeat but firmly denies it to be weighing on his mind, Maldini was quoted saying,
I have been giving my all for 20 years so I am not worried about the fact that tomorrow could be my last match if we are knocked out, I am used to being positive and I am not thinking about it.
Maldini is a true competitor and a earnest footballer, his fervor for the sport has not faded over the years - even today with experience of over tow-decades, he has the flair to still go on and win for himself and Milan, his decision of reschedule his Knee surgery for the end of the season, underscore on the statement.
