Official Adidas AC Milan away football shirt, as worn in Paolo Maldini's final game for the Rossoneri in a 2-0 victory on the 31s May 2009.
This special edition jersey was made to commemorate the career of Paolo Maldini, as his 24 years at AC Milan came to an end with his retirement at the end of the 2008/09 season. The patch on the chest alludes to his 'one man club' status, dedicating his career to solely playing for AC Milan. The club retired the #3 jersey following his retirement, as a mark of respect.
Condition of this vintage football jersey is 9/10 - Superb. Tiny wear to the letter 'n' on the sponsor. One tiny faint dot mark on the lower side, near the hem (see photos).
On 18 April 2009, Maldini announced that he would be retiring at the end of the 2008â09 season. On 17 May 2009, in the Stadio Friuli, Maldini played his 900th official match for Milan in a league game against Udinese. Maldini's last match in San Siro was on 24 May, a 3â2 loss against Roma, and was given a standing ovation by the fans.
There was a small controversy, however, when the Milan Ultras fans known as Brigate Rossonere protested against Maldini as he said goodbye. His last appearance for Milan, and his last game as an active player, was a 2â0 win against Fiorentina on 31 May 2009 in the last match of the Series A season. This win meant Milan finished in third place and qualified for the following season's Champions League.
Maldini was once again given a standing ovation by the fans. As they had previously done with Franco Baresi's number 6 shirt, Milan retired Maldini's number 3 shirt, but stated that it will be bequeathed to one of his sons if one of them were to make the club's senior team.
