Maldini was interviewed by DAZN before the game against Inter, with his comments transcribed by MilanNews and translated below.

“Would I like to still be playing? They are memories of the past that never come back. A top challenge after so many years, a great emotion. The fans fill our hearts in this football that is now a bit cold,” he said.

On Ibra: “Asking if Ibra is ready for a derby is a bit of a provocation. Lukaku? I hope it closes with a handshake or a hug, the question is closed between the two players.”
