It was a nervy evening for AC Milan despite the important 3-1 win, and the pressure of the occasion was certainly felt by Paolo Maldini.
It was all going very swimmingly for Milan at the interval as strikes from Franck Kessie and Ante Rebic had established a two-goal lead going into the break, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing a big hand in both goals.

However, the 39-year-old sent off with 30 minutes remaining after saying something to the referee Fabio Maresca. Riccardo Gagliolo then halved the deficit for the hosts to make it a very nervy conclusion, but Rafael Leao sealed the win.
As reported by Sky Italia (via MilanLive), Maldini bickered in the stands with a Parma fan, or at least someone who was present who was pro-Parma. The reason for the quarrel is not understood, but the former captain seemed more nervous than usual as per the report.
Maldini is mild but we must all remember he choked Chiellini 😂😂😂
