On Saturday, face to face at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Paolo Maldini and Sergio Ramos, who spared no warm words for each other, met. Madrid's "Real" invited "Milan" to their stadium, whose club management recently added the legendary P. Maldini. He watched the hosts' triumph from the "Santiago Bernabeu" stands with a score of 3:1. The Champions League winners organize matches every year to commemorate their first president. P. Maldini had the opportunity to present their own trophies directly to S. Ramos. Before S. Ramos took the trophies into his hands, he expressed his respect for his football idol - he imagined taking off his hat, which means giving respect. After the match, S. Ramos also received good words, despite frequent criticism for his rough play, the legendary Italian considers him the best in the world. "Sergio always said that I am his ideal. I have no doubt in saying that he is currently the strongest player in his position," said P. Maldini after the match. It is worth mentioning that back in 2009, P. Maldini noted the changes in S. Ramos' game - he then said that the Spaniard, who was playing on the right side at the time, would become one of the best center-backs in a few years.
