A clash of titans, interesting to watch two physically strong players going head to head. These players would eventually end up meeting many times later as well, but I think this is one of the games in which Zlatan have Maldini the biggest fight. Of course, Maldini won many duels, but still could not stop Zlatan completely from causing danger.
AC Milan vs Ajax Quarter Finals 2nd leg 2002/2003.

MALDINI gave Zlatan a hard time
Lies again? Get Hard
Right
@@NazriB the statistic didn't lie.. Ibrahimovic didn't score that night.. Milan won. Even other games against AC Milan when he still with Ajax.
Esatto
@@NazriB 🤡
Zlatan himself said “Maldini is the toughest defender I ever faced” in his long glittering career & that’s from a man who played in SEVEN different leagues WOW
He is the Greatest Defender ever seen so it's expected
@@games4adult not really Baresi is (who gave birth to Maldini) & it’s actually impressive that Ibra faced Paolo first time while mid 30s already.
@@DR-uq4hn and then Maldini to Nesta, Nesta to Thiago Silva💪
@@ayushdwivedi2655 there’s no logics in that trade as Nesta was already a superstar & ready complete CB from his days of Lazio & not same what I said about the other two I mentioned whom are a one club men & shared the field over a decade & together had their respective jersey# withdrawn (6 & 3)
about Chiellini he said the same
What hard time !. I see Maldini winning all the battles.
ikr
Zlatan just start his career at the moment tbh
@@differentvibe4797and maldini was not in his prime and was clearly injured because he’s wearing a mask
@@WhoAreYou905 Zlatan mentality number 2 and maldini mentality number 1 at the moment,
No. Ibra won a physical duel, suffered a foul, won 2 aerial duels (almost scored and made an assist) and dribbled past Maldini one time. Not bad at all...
Now zlatan is playing with his son daniel maldini 😂
😂😂😂👌🏼
😂😂😂
Why do you call this guy by his first name? Are you friends with him or something? What does that even mean?
@@__peanuts__ Nothing
@@tinuvarun5806 The why do you call him “Zlatan”? You are not his mom.
New Title: Maldini brought young Zlatan back to school
No
@@andarouga5184 may Jesus Christ help you removing your hardness
Schooled him again in 05/06 while he was at Juve also Materazzi gave him a kiss of death with his shoe
That's what I saw

Maldini, THE best defender ever.
Hardest defender i have ever seen in the planet
Is it just me or anybody else who is still searching that hard time which zlatan gave to Maldini?
Not only you bro
Those kits were 🔥
You don't like the childish designs of today on the shirts??😡😡😡
Puma Jersey is shit
Ac Milan had a shirt with an exterior net layer with the logo and the sponsors on it.., beautiful stuff
Nowadays Arsenal's shirts have nipples visible 🤮
Right, look at the new kits of a milan this season 🤮
I heard about the great Maldini growing up... But it wasnt until really watched studied Maldini's defense and learned the game that his greatness really shined through..im at awe as to the level which he was at compared to someone like Maguire which cost 70plus millions.
watch R9 vs maldini, and u will see maldini is overrated.
@@syan8008 🤡🤡
@@veiron1 maldini famously said something like if I make a tackle I have already made a mistake, but the fact that people believe he rarely tackled is a myth. He used to tackle just as much as most modern CB's. He was no where near as good as Baresi as a CB. As a LB though he is one of the best of all time. If u watch R9 vs maldini, u will see R9 easily gets past him on multiple occasions. Now imagine what messi would do to maldini.
Inflation cause fed prints money
@syan your mom is overrated
Just look how the quality of defence was ,it was so tough to dribble someone or score a sweaty goal .
Thats because that was prime Milan 💀
That's why guys like Maradona who went to a struggling napoli but beat Ac Milan and juventus inter roma sampdoria ect who all had world class players defenders.. he still took them from fighting relegation to winning the league a European Cup.. playing against physical technical players defenders that take you and the ball .. tackles now that be a red card 6months ban that was a yellow card back then it was a different game unfortunately alot of skillful talented strikers suffered bad injuries getting kicked all the time and guys like van basten having to retire young .. guys like batistuta Maradona after years in Italy in 90s when they retired both struggled to walk were in pain from years of getting kicked.. batistuta when he retired the pain in his ankles just walking was so painful he asked a surgeon if they could amputate and he could get prosthetic legs because he couldn't cope with the pain .. Google it very sad story but football has changed since then one touch on a attacker free kick or yellow card touch a striker in the box now its a penalty.. I wonder if that's why there's players still playing until there 40 because they played when referees protected players .. football is now non contact sport never used to be like that 80s 90s football.. team talk in 90s would be stop Messi go through him don't even look at the ball take him out the game and he would get kicked up and down the pitch every time he got the ball .. some of the tackles gream souness European Cup winner 5time epl league winner played in Italy his tackles now would get you prison time 😂😂 but fine back then
@@Carson-pv4hr Maradona was mediocre. Had like one good year.
Looked a good physical fair battle. Looks like they gave each other a hard time; I'd say Maldini edged it based on the clips. Big fan of both players. Actual footballing Legends.
Haha I agree
Clash of the Titans.
*MALDINI gave Zlatan a hard time
Now Zlatan is playing with his son Daniel Maldini
From the video it looks otherwise… it’s maldini who is giving hard time to Zlatan
I was in san siro that night. Unforgettable match!
What was the score ?
@@MrAD-mb9nh MIlan won 3-2 scoring the last good at the extra time.
@@dariot5160 ❤🖤❤🖤
I was 13 and stick on tv, i gone to the bathroom leaving the tv one moment when I heard my dad screaming PIPPOOOOOOO hahahahaha after Inzaghi scored our qualification.
@@oskareriksson2202 i can believe that. The funny thing is that technically it was scored by Thomasson, but everybody (correctly) remember Pippo :)
Qué clase tenía Paolo! Gigante hoy en el Derby de champions te extrañamos demasiado maestro! Viva el rossonero!
It seems like Maldini gave a hard time to Zlatan😂
Great defending by Maldini!
The greatest
that phrase u heard in over 902 games
Maldini gave zlatan a taim hard
That is also true
They both got their share
I think the correct title should be Maldini gave Zlatan an hard time! 🤣
More like Maldini shut down Zlatan clean and fairly 🤲
Zlatan smile 2 times when he meet Maldini and Ronaldo Nazario.
Maldini was a beast!! Going up against a young Ibrahimović and taking him on every play with toughness and clean tackling!! Boss
Maldini was unbelievable player and character.
Pronouncing Schnyder instead of Sneijder killed my ears
😂😂😂
Ещё версию Орлова не слышал😎
also Piinar for Pijenaar
@@stepmobi4219 It’s Pienaar
As the same as foreigners pronounce italian names
To be fair Zlatan was young and Maldini was already a legend. Then again the man gave hell to Zidane, R9 etc..
Grande Zlatan y gigantescos Maldini y Nesta
Paolo Maldini es uno de los mejores futbolistas de todos los tiempos, al nivel del más grande, pocos como el
Wrong title. Here is Maldini giving hard time to Zlatan.
When ZLATEN is the best youngest player
ZLATEN can never be as good as ZLATIN
"CliCKkbait" It's called art
0:23 hard time... for Zlatan
That's Maldini gave Zlatan very hard time...
Hard time gave Zlatan a Maldini
For me Paolo Maldini is Italian's best Centre back or Defender. I respect him for his defensive skills.
Brazillian Ronaldo and Obafemi Martins are two strikers I seen give Paolo a hard night. And as a non striker, I’ve seen Zidane put the whole Milan back line to the sword in one game
Maldini puts Ronaldo among the toughest he ever faced, and that is an elite list with the other being Maradona, i believe.
@@vishnuquick Toughest player he ever faced was Ruud Gullit in training he said. Strong, fast, aggressive, boat loads of confidence and talent - Gullit was a scary player.
@@rossl5908 That was in training, he recently acknowledged Zidane, R9, and Maradona as his toughest opponents
Rivaldo destroyed Milan as well
Just ronaldo and maradona. Martins passed him one time
Maldini se non è stato il difensore migliore di sempre e forse secondo solo a baresi ( o forse sono ex aequo) ruoli diversi ma campioni complementari ed inarrivabili!!!!!milan per sempre
Seems like Zlatan was controlled effectively
there is a friendly in which Zlatan plays much better against Maldini
becouse Maldini was playng friendly
Maldini looks cool with the mask
What a defender! Maldini was not that bad too...
Remember if you somehow get past Maldini, Nesta will be there or vice versa.
Maldini gave zlatan a hard time defo
As an inter fan I have to say that even if Zlatan got past Maldini he would then have Nesta to deal with….. not exactly going downhill in difficulty
Zlatan improved so much, you can see he was terrible at 1 touch and through passes which improved a lot in Italy.
MALDINI LEGGENDA 🔴⚫🔴⚫🔴⚫
Maldini had him in his back pocket
This Ajax was so fun to watch
Campioni immensi ❤️😍
Maldini gave zlatan a hard time
Zlatan dribbling against Maldini, now he is one of the best defenders in the world
Maldini is not a human…
Que defensa tan férrea!
Doesn't matter who is the winner, it is a great battle. At least we don't see any one of them play acting to get each other sent off. Fair and square battle.
Maldini fan here... Kudos to Zlatan for not "accidentally" elbowing Paulo in the face.
maldini pocketed Zlatan. Even Zlatan knows that
Zaltan was like cat 🤣🤣 against maldini
Sniiider ahahahahaha wtf Wesley: this is an amazing year ! 2010 will never forget u
"Schneeder" 😂
a antecipação do maldini era algo muito absurdo fora do normal
I hope Ibrahimovic will experience another highlight in his career, a coronation
Imagine trying to score against Maldini and Nesta 🤦
Maldini un altro.livello...
its the other way around, maldini beat zlatan almost in every challenge on that video!
Nobody gives Maldini a hard time.
Maldini is the only player to successfully dominate over Zlatan
Zlatan, welcome to Maldini
Maldini gave a hard time Zlatan.
It's pity that Maldini and Roberto Carlos played on different wings. I would like to watch their battle
Maldini is a super fantastic
Cafu, Costacurta, Nesta and Maldini, in the same te😮m defending
Maldini is God of defending
Ronaldo at Inter Milan was something else 😅
Maldini era in fenomeno😊😊
Milan scored the winner at the end of the game During the stoppage time, that idiot got the balll near the throw in line but instead of keeping the ball he tried a dribbling on both Maldini and Costacurta although he was already stuck and cornered Counter attack...and inzaghi scores the winner
Maldini 🥶😈
Simply Maldini!
Maldini can smoke ,drink and scratching is balls while is looking after Ibra
Maldini davvero statuario
A good fair battle. Zlatan seems to edge it when the ball comes high due to his height. On the ground, if the pass is not ideal, Maldini will sweep it away. Maldini is smart that when Zlatan already had the ball in possession he backs off, else he could easily get turned. The one-on-one battle; Maldini just keeps the position and only reacts to Zlatan's movements. This is smart, since Zlatan tends to make a fool of impatient defenders chucking their legs at the ball or body at him, thinking they are quicker/stronger than him. I would also give Maldini the edge here since he keeps Zlatan at bay until help arrive, Zlatan makes a mistake, or the defense get in position to keep Zlatan's option limited.
yeah also Zlatan was in his begin 20's, Maldini was prob around 40 already
Which maldini
MALDINI WON THAT BATTLE👏🏾👏🏾
No one: Literally NO ONE: Neymar: 0:24
The oyher way around really
most of them are coaches now
นี้ปีอะไร
For the look of it, maldini won this battle. Maldini the best defender to ever played football
Maldini seorang bek terbaik yg senior bisa di bikin repot oleh zlatan yg waktu itu masih belum jadi bintang besar
Title is mistake, Maldini gave hard time to Zlatan
Maldini best defender ever . .
It looks like the other way around actually
Cuando Zlatan no sabía que era Zlatan
Maldini😈
Azzo che difensore....e mi chiedo come sia possibile che non abbia vinto un pallone d oro....forse xche' era italiano?e ai francesi non siamo molto graditi?
Be' Cannavaro l'ha vinto... anche se Maldini e' stato sicuramente superiore
@@il-conte sfido io, fece un mondiale stratosferico e l Italia vinse.furono costretti ma se avessero potuto l avrebbero dato a Zidane ..
A qui tempi, difficile che davano il pallone d'oro a un difensore, visto anche la grande quantità di campioni che giocavano a calcio, per poi non parlare degli anni 90, dove tante squadre italiane è non solo sembravano All-star Teams.
Maldini is the greatest defender of all time
Maldini l’ultimo gentiluomo del calcio Italiano. Insieme a Nesta Cannavaro difesa ineguagliabile
I think it's Vice Versa
Ma che anno era 2003 ?
Not once Zlatan could get clear of Maldini, and if he did there was Nesta Almighty right in front.
