As a LB maldini is the GOAT he didnt have to win a euro or world cup to be a GOAT its what he did as a LB on the field that made him A GOAT. He was that much of A GOAT he didnt have to tackle to get the ball most times his presents running next to a player would make them lose or give up the ball yes he had to tackle only when he needed too.

I see everyone saying hes tackles would be fouls in modern football but most of hes tackles are clean where hes target is always the ball

[@Simplydadaa]

Many of them were fouls already at that time

[@achillesglacia7700]

Not true, his tackles won the ball most of the time, but he always got some of the man in a grapple sort of fashion not an assault fashion. which is actually acceptable to me, but not in the modern game, the modern game, you can't even approach the player looking intent, the referee will blow even when there was no contact

Rivaldo looked like a real menace back in 1999. He was physical and had an exquisite and dangerous left boot. Maldini definitely matched up to him well in a clash of two juggernauts. Rivaldo was the Balon D'or winner of 1999

Maldini is a GOAT defender, period. Pls stop taking names - Zidane, Adriano, etc. would own him 7/10 times anyday. Pretty sure you have no idea about the game TBH. Think about it, a defender can afford to foul coz he's outside the box, however, this is against the true instincts of a goal scorer. LOL at these losers sitting behind their screens making irrational judgements. Step on the field my friend, if not, STFU and enjoy the beautiful video!

[@bobturner3667]

My daughter is a defender and quite good. Her style ( mood dependant) ranges from Vinny Jones to Maldini, savage yet beautiful. I remember the first time I called her " The blonde Maldini", she looked at me and said "who is that?" I wanted to cry. Instead, her and I watched Maldini clips and games and she fell even deeper in love with art of defending.

[@BLFootballEditz]

Same with me I’m a defender and I’m good but I always looked up to maldini

[@Aqzwsx654]

I have been watching Maldini since 1997, but as the best defender that I watched, i will always choose Alessandro Nesta. Maldini was maybe the most complete, Cannavaro the most aggressive and determined, but Nesta was the best defender, the most elegant in tackling, smartest off all of them. Best defender, absolutely!

[@CognizantCheddar]

In case it's not obvious to anyone, Maldini is irritated at his opponent in the first clip because the other guy deliberately spiked Maldini in the thigh with his left boot as they were both going for the ball.

when maldini starts arguing it is usually because someone played him dirty. He played very hard but always been extremely correct

@Al2006essandro some of the clips here were fouls aswell. I cba to time stamp them, but im sure you got common sense to see which ones were fouls.

@Worldchampion03 that's good to know. Because he definitely wouldn't be able to get away with it regardless. Either way, he a dinosaur defender. Irrelevant clip if this trying to impress us as this aint part of the modern game. But in regards to you assuming the defense is better. Would you say strikers are way better aswell? Because people are scoring and breaking records a lot easier in the modern game. Giroud already surpassed henry for france, and we accept he dealing with more organised defences
