36 year old Alessandro Nesta making a clean tackle against prime Messi is one of my favourite moment of all time.
Yes, but that's definitely not prime Messi
@@joanas1540 Messi scored 73 goals in that season. If that isn't his prime then Idk what it is.
@@thevijaykumar Just another Messi drone, dont bother.

@@joanas1540 yeahhh,, what about prime Nesta ?? lol
Lets be honest they are the best defenders what walked on earth.
Franco Baresi
Beckenbauer 😂😂3
@@maxamedkhadar8986 nesta at 37 is too big for him he was the real bully for messi prime vai domire chico😂
Beckenbauer best libro but he just play vs old pele and cruyff .. As a cb no one come close to nesta or baresi And as a complete defender/player maldini is the goat
Baresi Nesta Maldini Cannavaro Gentili Chellini Bonnoci Zambrotta Pannuci And athers Italian defenders are the best in the story of futball
Elegance Of Nesta, Brilliance Of Maldini....❤
... Majesty of Maguire
One of my regrets in life is not getting the chance to watch these greats regularly!
I did😂
Reincarnated in saliba
Too bad for u boy coz I did get to watched them played regularly when both of em were in their prime
@@XDLfootball no
Nesta the absolute best tackler of all time. Nesta was pure class.
See how everytime they tackle and the opponent falls down no one is screaming for a foul? That's the mark of a true defender because they know it's a clean foul. Also players back then were rock solid. They didn't cry after every contact.
"We were inspired by Harry Maguire" -Maldini and Nesta

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shaw: You kidding me? :-O
Phil Jonesta, Smalldini
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So elegant!! You see both of them not aim to hurt the players. They have very accurate judgement and do their job. Amazing!!😮😮😮
Absolutely correct
Not like today whitch they trying to hurt them.
The timing, the focus and the fair non-harming slide, these were always there in them. Defending can be an art- people wouldn’t realize ever if Maldini and Nesta not graced the football
Old milan 🔥. They didn't score so many goals but they will never allow any body to score against them 🔥
Haaland& KDB wikl destroy them.
@@OURGAMERSTUDIO lol don't even dare saying that once again kid always remember a 37 year old maldini pocketed 2005 ronaldo who was one of the youngest prospects back then if prime milan and current man city meet kaka will walk past walker and rodri and they wouldn't even notice shevchenko will destroy ederson and stones maldini, nesta and cafu will pocket haaland, kdb and grealish while dida will be chilling on the goal because city players would have to cross 10 walls before facing him and dont get me started on the late 80s and early 90s milan (their real prime) you have the likes of maldini, baresi, rijkaard, gullit, van basten, ancelotti, etc. one of the scariest teams in history of football and probably prime barca and prime bayern can be said better than them 7>1
@@randomhooman3236Stop being nostalgic, Let’s talk facts here although it won’t be easy I would say it’s a 50/50 but i am still leaning towards man city purely because they have the ball possession all the time and milan can’t do anything if they don’t have the ball
@@randomhooman3236What Ronaldo are you talking about? CR7 or R9?
@@randomhooman3236If you're talking about CR7, Maldini put Cristiano in his pocket and I agree with you, but if it's about Brazilian Ronaldo, you're very wrong, especially because Maldini said that playing against R9 was a nightmare
When I played football I was a midfielder more often 10 but sometimes 8 or even winger but when I started to watch nesta + maldini performances something changed inside me. Defending became my thing. Now I’m older, I’m a dad and stopped playing in a team but I still have more passion for defending players than the others. For me players like nesta, maldini, desailly, hierro, campbell, thuram, cafu were my heroes they were beasts
You are definitely old school. The new generation doesn't even know half of those players. Back in the day, defense was an art, and we loved it more than offense sometimes. We were happy to see a good game even tho the score was 0 - 0.
@@Tate.TopG. nowadays they slide
@@omshree901 oh yes, no skills at all
Yeah I would love to strike the ball in the net, but playing Fullback is what I did best and I loved it!
You should mention Baresi who mentored Maldini.
bonucci and chiellini will never get close to the true Italian wall
Anyone will get close to them. They was perfect defense. Chiellini and Bonucci was defense what get closest to Maldini and Nesta but still not that good.
@@redspy3655 Absolutely not, Maldini and Nesta, Baresi and Maldini were of other levels. Bonucci is a mediocre defender, Bonucci a good defender.
Chiellini and Barzagli can get close
@@redspy3655 no, not in a million years. so far there's no defensive duo presented something as good as nesta and maldini, there are many good defenders but none of them are like nesta and maldini.
@@adhu8194 I think Messi and Ronaldo's era had good defenders not on level of R9 ,Zidane era but Halaand and Mbappe's era have bad defenders
"Offence wins you matches. Defence wins you tournaments" - Sir Alex Ferguson.
What a pair of defenders, the best thing is that their sliding tackles are always clean and throwing the ball out and in most keeping it or even giving a pass to another teammate. If both are already legends of AC Milan, not to mention when in the italian team they formed the defensive back with Cannavaro and Costacurta, that is, a defensive wall impossible to break
“If I have to make a tackle, I have already made a mistake.” - Paolo Maldini 👑
I could watch this all day! Great tackles. Very handsome men too. To this day the Italian team of the Euro2000 is in my top 3 teams of all times.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Don't forget how agile, strong, and tactical they are to be able to do all these.
Altri tempi Altri difensori Nesta, eleganza infinita Paolo.... tutto ❤️🖤
The best. Love seeing defense getting props. Maldini is/was the best. Added this video to my *Best* Pro Futbol playlist!
im glad ive seen both in my lifetime. my kids will never witness defenders like these
Мальдини и Неста просто монстры
Compare with Pepe & Ramos most brutal defenders on they era wiith so many trophhies they've got but Maldini & Nesta was a masterpiece on defends
Ramos and pepe have to go high up the pitch and score often ,they are not at the back tackling all match long
@@micheallscott7616actually maldini was far better than ramos or pep in the attack positions Maldini and nesta in a whole different level
nesta is just something else
These are not just ANY players they are destroying! What an amazing duo
Best duo ever ❤🖤
это лучшая связка всех времен. Объективно Мальдини лучший защитник в истории игры
The dedication they had🔥
Principles of defending right here. I dropped by to pay my respects to the art. 🙇🏽♂️
この2人はミランで歴代最高のCBだと思う。 バレージもいたけど真っ先に思い浮かぶのはネスタとマルディーニ
As a Milan fan, getting to watch Maldini and Nesta play together has been a great privilege.
Nesta and Maldini. When the defending become Art
fantastic duo
Maldini is GOAT of defending, Change my mind.
my favorite players of all time, i had jerseys two of them in my childhood
Look at their tackles perfect ❤
There are certain periods of history that were sublime in football. This period with Milan and those legends all on that one team is mindblowing how good they were.
they are defenders the best of AC Milan 🔥
Baresi dove lo metti?
For you who is te best defender of all time?

Los mejores y punto ! No hay más que decir
A definition of excellence and intelligent defending...the positioning marking tackle headers speed strength...I mean when you pick a team this two are on very best to pick of all time.
both of them are legend of football. the greatest deffender of all time.
Absolutely dominant 💥
best DEF-duo of all time!
E' così bello, quando un difensore riesce a togliere palla all'attaccante avversario senza commettere fallo, questo concetto andrebbe lavorato meglio nella base del futuro atleta...questa qualità è magnifica
Simplesmente lendas
OMG they were brilliant!
that nesta's tackle on Messi inside the box was fire....
BEST DEFENDING DUO EVER 🔴⚫️3️⃣🔴⚫️1️⃣3️⃣💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️❤️
Some defenders are just known for their defending. Some are just known for their attacking qualities. Some are just known for their perseverence. Nesta and Maldini:
Best duo of all time, with Maldini best defender of all time hands down
90s: Tassotti - Costacurta - Baresi - Maldini 00s: Cafu - Stam - Nesta - Maldini The best of the best, ever....!
Estos dos de verdad que eran otro nivel en defensa eran muy técnicos y pensaban muy rápido también
Nesta was pure gold
Italian team are actually great in cup competition, if they can progress through the group stage, which they traditionally always have difficulties with, they are very hard to beat in the knockout stage.
Legendary 🏆🥇
Watching Nesta stopping both CR7 and Messi is something else.
هنا تعرف مدى قوة المدافع يعني انا مهاجمي ذالك الوقت أقوى المهاجمين عرفتهم كرة القدم اما ميسي و رونالدوا فهم مصنفون في آخر الرزنامة 😁 ضهروا بعد اعتزال هاءلاء المدافعين يعني أنهم ليسوا جديرين بالالقاب التي اخذوها لقد صنعوهم لكي يشعروا العالم انهم أقوى لاعبين لاكنهم في الحقيقة غير موجودون بالنسبة لكرة القدم الحقيقية 😂
What I loved about these duo is the fact that they never injured their opponents unlike Pepe and Romos who went in for the kill.
Clean tackles…. Wow…. Those AC Milan days
They are not just footballers, they are Rome's last line of defence! Legendary!
They defender of shape clean Kudos Kudos
When Van Nistelrooy who is one of the best finishers in the game says it then it has immense value.
Now I see why AC Milan dominated Europe in their time.
The Best Duo... All of Time 🖤🥱
Cannavaro Nessta Maldini + Buffon. True Italian Wall
This guy knows what's up. That was an elite 10/10 all time great defensive wall.
The thing is maldinis tackles looks very scary but almost 90% of the time he touches the ball first like he is not kicking opponents leg to stop them he making clean tackles almost Everytime.
of course you shall not pass them, but it would be good to see their ability on holding the d-line upfront or how well could they execute the offside trap. these components are critical for a good defender

only these guys would make defending amazing to watch
the best duo defender👍
Nice edit
Those 2 are the key to defending. Has fans we compliment these 2
i honestly think the difference b/w them and todays defenders is that today they focus on keeping possession instead of clearing which causes them to make multiple mistakes while defenders then just did their job and left the rest for the midfielders and kept the ball outta the net
I can't count the number of times, I've said wooww. A combination of go in for the Kill and clean slide
Aah yes the 2000's, what a great time to be a Milanista
dida cafu nesta maldini kaladze... Like damn... I can't name a most iconic defensive side.
Stam
Cleanest Tacklers 🧱
Dropped this after the Maguire vid lol
Dropped this after chiellini left. Karma
😂the opening statement caused me to ask, "then how do you account for Paolo Maldini's epic goals?"😂
they are class
The hardest defends i have ever seen indeed alesandro nesta maldini +spectacular Bresi o'god
I think it's interesting that Maldini himself said something to the likes of your generally already beat if you have to go to ground.
how they can tackle so cleanly? couldn't see many defender can do that nowadays..
Goated defenders
Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta. Golden generation of Italian defends
Only tackles.. very Dangerous! ❤

Tha art of defending 🎉
Agree..maldini x nesta is the best defender duo in the world
remembered that italian defense was stacked as fuck plus buffon guarding the goal back in 2000s era it was a literal concrete wall
