Unveiling the Untold Stories of Homegrown Heroes Who Conquered European Cup Finals!
Paolo Maldini (AC Milan vs Liverpool, 2005)
AC Milan made a dream start in the 2005 Champions League final against Liverpool in Istanbul as captain Paolo Maldini volleyed home from an Andrea Pirlo free-kick in the first minute of the game.
Despite leading 3-0 at half-time, Milan went on to lose the match on penalties. It was Maldini’s third loss in a European Cup final, but he did win the competition five times with the Rossoneri, and lifted the trophy as Milan beat Liverpool in the final two years later.
