Milan: Daniel Maldini made his Serie A debut with Italian giants AC Milan to follow in the footsteps of his father, club legend Paolo, and grandfather Cesare. The 18-year-old Maldini had already taken part in pre-season friendlies, but had to wait for his first senior appearance for the seven-time European champions. It finally came in the 93rd minute of a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona at the San Siro. "My debut was a dream, shame about the result," said Maldini.

"We could have done more, but there was still a lot of emotion. "Verona are a tough team, we deserved the three points but we brought home a draw. We hope to win the next one." Midfielder Maldini made his debut 35 years after his father Paolo and 66 after his grandfather Cesare. "This debut was a goal that I had set myself, now we hope to go on like this. I felt a strong emotion but my father reassures me," he added.
