"Daniel Maldini was still able to experience the youth sector journey at Milan like his dad. He made his senior debut in a red and black shirt and even scored his first professional goal in a season that culminated with a Scudetto win. However, unlike Paolo, he departed for pastures new."
"The forward comes to this match full of energy after scoring his first goal for Lazio last Monday against Sassuolo, his 14th goal in Serie A. Rather surprisingly he was chosen to start as the striker (or false nine) in a front three, with some more natural centre-forwards on the bench."
"The future of Lazio, but also that of Maldini, also depends on the next few matches, starting with the one against Milan. However it goes, it will be a turning point, to prove he can stay - this time for real - at a club that aspires to play in Europe regularly."
Daniel Maldini, son of AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini, will face his former club in a sold-out Stadio Olimpico match. Though he made limited appearances for Milan, he followed his father's path through the youth academy, made his senior debut in red and black, and scored his first professional goal during a Scudetto-winning season. He recently transferred to Lazio and scored his first goal for them against Sassuolo, bringing his Serie A tally to 14. Selected as a false nine despite having natural centre-forwards available, Maldini enters this crucial match with momentum. The upcoming fixtures, particularly against Milan, will determine whether he can establish himself at a club competing for European qualification.
