The Maldini name is still going strong in Italian football and has just made history again.

Luciano Spalletti handed Daniel Maldini his senior bow in their country’s Nations League clash with Israel on Monday.

Fittingly, the Monza playmaker’s international debut took place at the Bluenergy Stadium, where his father Paolo made his competitive debut for Milan.

Maldini Jr is also the third member of his generation to represent the Azzurri, with grandfather Cesare also earning caps before managing the national side.

A true footballing dynasty.
