Maldini (40) vs Ibrahimovic (26) Battle

Paolo Maldini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic go head-to-head in a 2008 Milan derby:

[@thaihoangcfc]

What amazes me here is Gattuso raised his hand and was way more gentle that usual 😂

[@BFCNick]

Probably avoiding a second yellow

[@F_Dot_]

When they became teammates at Milan, Zlatan threw him in the changing room bin for provoking him during training

[@rockysoft2227]

Gettuso is useless

[@gaptekcanggih]

Because he know he is wrong, his hand accidentally slap Ibra cheek.

[@user-wn4cv3oy8q]

Nothing funny , gattusso sometimes was mad and that’s remarkable , 1 st thing all Milan that times was so hard defending , but Maldini played like with ibra here through all his career his real tough guy of football

[@Mgaming3108]

Zlatan back in the day his dribbling was better than his shooting

[@pablox55555]

are you fucking blind, that 1st dribble was pure garbage wtf

[@Rangogoat]

wouldn’t that make it a tie

[@achillesglacia7700]

Yeah but ibra wins the ball everytime, but constrained to free kick or throw in. So I give ibra the win by slim margin cos inter could have scored from those set pieces.

[@thiccchungo1041]

⁠@@achillesglacia7700on the other hand forcing long range set pieces could also go Milan’s way since it is easier to defend a set piece than a run on goal from someone like Ibrahimovic

Мальдини, Ибра, Зеедорф, Гаттузо Пирло, Неста Адриано эхх что за составы были! Раньше помню наизусть знал составы из всех команд серии А, сейчас из нынешних футболистов знаю только Мбаппе, Месси и Роналду...

[@massimilianobergamaschi7434]

Nella seconda azione Maldini attacca Ibrahimovic solo quando un suo compagno di squadra viene a raddoppiare. Così nel caso lui sbagliasse l'intervento Ibrahimovic avrebbe ancora un'altro giocatore da superare. Questa è concentrazione e attenzione a cosa si fa in campo.

[@KANGAR1982]

thats when zlatan said, fuck it im joining milan. Nah but for real thanks Zlatan for your time in Ac Milan

[@SportNut1]

Although he is an amazing defender, but a lot of these are fouls. In both cases at the end he tries to kick the ball from behind and took Ibra's back of the leg with him even though everything before those last tackles are great especially for a 40 yrs old

[@BigBoss7777777]

He still stopped Ibra and without a card so job done

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

There are only two instances lol. One is a foul, one isn't.

[@clement7313]

Proper old school defending. They don’t make defenders like them anymore. Things that are fouls these days weren’t in those days

[@AimarP10]

Pepe is still the best defender for me, wach him against great players (Messi, Ronaldinho, Etoo, Henry, Ibra, Suarez, etc)

[@SportNut1]

@@clement7313 yea but it's also the italian defending that cut the prime of some the most talented players like Ronaldo short. On the flip side, nowadays every player roll around like Neymar but Messi gets to play at 36. Hard to say which is better

[@rinohermawan14]

Marking.. marking.. marking.. makes Striker frustasion

[@goodvibes7343]

True but this inter lacked creativity n depth in their football n had no real playmaker, they wanted stankovic to do everything, inter under mancini had serious ball possession problems its only under mourinho n with sneijder n etoo that they started moving the ball better.. zlatan said the same thing in his book, u had to b super athletic elastic n gymnastic to reach the passes from the midfielders, they struggled a lot then brought figo then quaresma, figo was at the end of his career so he didnt do much nd quaresma got injured then left while veron was most of the time injured, relying on stankovic nd cambiasso wasnt a great idea n left the defense exposed...

[@shortpitched713]

I just see Maldini foul Ibra multiple times, and finally Ibra gets a free kick. I mean, it's not a fair battle due to Maldini's age there's no way he can handle Ibra at this time. But, this is very clear to see, and not a good showcase for Maldini.

[@GLHVAlways]

@@casteltheghettomonk4392 Facts? You stated one fact, and that is that Silva plays in good league at the age of 40. Maldini has 5 Champion Leagues. Maldini is 3rd player in history with most Ballon d'Or nominations. He was 3rd place for Ballon d'Or at the age of 35-36. Maldini is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in history. Nobody counts Thiago Silva even in top 20 defenders of all time and Maldini is at the top. At least in top 3. Thiago Silva is a good player but nowhere near Maldini. And that is what every normal person will tell you. Learn more about football and than write about it. And never compare Silva in Maldini in front of other people, they will laugh at you.
