SERIE A - Maldini family record: Daniel Maldini goal makes Milan history
The Maldini family etched even more history with Milan during Saturday's encounter against Spezia.
Milan needed a goal to break the deadlock heading into the second half, and 19-year-old Daniel Maldini scored with a diving header.
The goal ensures that the Maldini legend lives on in Milan for a third generation.
Even better, his father Paolo was in attendance to congratulate his son on his achievement.
OptaPaolo states that "Daniel Maldini has scored his first Serie A goal 13 years and 179 days after the last league goal of his father Paolo (v Atalanta in 2008) and 60 years and 22 days after the last Serie A goal of his grandfather Cesare (v Catania in 1961)."
For the three Maldini's who played at Milan, Cesare scored 3 goals, Paolo: 33 goals, and the current generation Daniel Maldini with his recent goal takes him to 1.
