Milan’s Daniel Maldini is third-generation title-winner with Rossoneri

Daniel Maldini became the third member of his incredible footballing family to win a Serie A title with Milan.

The 20-year-old made eight appearances in Serie A as the Rossoneri claimed a 19th league title with a 3-0 victory over Sassuolo on the final day of the campaign.

Despite not being a regular first-team player, Daniel made a telling contribution to the Scudetto win with the opening goal in a 2-1 win over away at Spezia.

He followed his father Paolo and grandfather Cesare in both scoring for the club and winning the Scudetto.

However, Daniel still has a long way to go to match the overall achievements of his ancestors with the Rossoneri.

Cesare was a Serie A champion on four occasions with Milan from 1954-55 to 1961-62 and lifted the 1963 European Cup as captain. He also won a Coppa Italia and Cup Winners’ Cup.

Paolo, who spent his entire 25-year career with the Rossoneri, was a Serie A champion on seven occasions and won the European Cup/Champions League five times – twice as captain. He also claimed a Coppa Italia, the UEFA Super Cup five times, the Intercontinental Cup twice, the FIFA Club World Cup and Supercoppa five times.

Of Milan’s 19 Serie A titles, 12 have been with a Maldini in their squad.
