Paolo Maldini (36) vs Cristiano Ronaldo (20) Battle

36 year old Maldini vs 18 year old Cristiano Ronaldo. You’d think that a 36 year old defender would have a hard time keeping up with a fast, powerful 18 year old attacker, let alone legendary player Cristiano Ronaldo. That was not the case as Maldini kept CR7 quiet for the most part. It’s interesting to see how even a very young Ronaldo who loved to dribble did not dare to attempt dribbling too much on Maldini’s wing. AC Milan vs Man Utd 2005/2006.
