Maldini: Time to call it a day
Sunday 16 December, 2007

Paolo Maldini has lifted his third Club World Cup at the age of 39 and announced his retirement.

“I think it is tough for someone to reach 39 and still play for the top trophies,” said the Milan captain after he starred in the 4-2 win over Boca Juniors.

“I am satisfied with what I have achieved today and throughout my career.”

There were reports Maldini would hang up his boots straight after this Final in Yokohama, but he sets a firm date for his retirement.

“In June I will retire and certainly have no regrets. It is a struggle now and I have niggling pains, but I still have so much fun on the pitch.”

He has played for the club since 1984, winning seven Scudetti, five Champions League trophies, three Intercontinental Cups, four European Super Cups, the Coppa Italia and five Italian Super Cups.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
