Guys, get ready for htis match. I will be watching on RAI ITALIA observing every movement from Maldini... it is an emotional match for me too as a Milanista seeing my captain battling for the last time in San Siro.. wow! Pass the kleenex.. I will be crying!

Awesome guys, stand up and let's give a standing ovation to Capitano Paolo Maldini making his entrance for the last time in San Siro defending the team he loves so much "AC MILAN." Maldini with his successors...
What a moment guys!!!! San Siro is full to salute Captain Paolo Maldini looking so gorgeous and waving to the fans. Come on Rossoneri, come on Roman gladiators. I wish good luck to both teams and to my fellow visitors. Though, you know that personally I am rooting for my Milan.
It's so nice to see the players from AS Roma giving also a tribute to Maldini by wearing a special jersey on their entrance saying "Grazie Paolo."
I love Roma too, but AC Milan comes first, guys. Honestly, it breaks my heart to see two of my favorite players Maldini -Totti battling against each other.. but oh well... that's football.
Awesome guys to see great Captain Maldini waving to his fans before the match.
I am crying of joy, sadness, feeling a whole bunch of emotions seeing Maldini wearing Milan jersey for the last time in San Siro. Grazie Maldini for all the good moments, for being a great warrior.
Guys, an emotional moment to watch Adriana, the wife of Paolo Maldini, saluting his husband and holding the scarf commemorating the last game of Maldini in San Siro
Fans everywhere with a melancolic look thinking they are watching Maldini's last game in San Siro.
Another banner guys honoring Maldini "The best father of the world."
It's showtime guys!!! Referee De Marco whistles the beginning of the match!!!!
Wow, guys, I was glued to the TV watching the game... a joy seeing young AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato battling. Bad part not seeing him score guys.
First cold shower for the Rossoneri in the 36th minute when AS Roma opens the score! Guys, a direct free kick conceded by Andrea Pirlo and it is Roma defender John Arne Riise to shatter Maldini's celebration! Riise blasts AC Milan goalkeeper DIDA with a left footed shot all the way to the top right corner! Guys, I wanted to jump and take that ball away!!!!!
AC Milan 0 - 1 AS ROMA
I am super mad because I was expecting Milan to open the score to honor Captain Paolo Maldini. You bet all AC Milan fans were upset too !
Finally, guys, AC Milan equalizes the score in a super quick move. In the 75th minute, it is super Pippo Inzaghi with a right footed shoot attempting to score after an assist by Kaka but Roma goalkeeper Artur blocks and in the rebound... bammmmmm here is the beauty when AC Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini profits the moment to blast Artur!
AC Milan 1 - 1 AS Roma
Musica and Magia Kaka desperately tried to deliver a victory for the team and Maldini but could not make it this time.
Grazie Paolo always in our heart.
At the end of the game, beloved Captain Paolo Maldini starts his Olympic run around the field saluting his fans for the last time in San Siro.
