'''Paolo Cesare Maldini''' ({{lahirmati|[[Milan]], [[Italia]]|26|6|1968}}) adalah mantan pemain [[sepak bola]] profesional Italia yang bermain terutama sebagai [[bek kiri]] dan [[bek tengah]] untuk [[AC Milan]] dan [[Tim nasional sepak bola Italia|tim nasional Italia]]. Ia menghabiskan seluruh kariernya di [[Serie A]] selama 25 tahun bersama [[AC Milan]] sebelum pensiun pada umur 41 pada tahun 2009. Dia secara luas dianggap sebagai salah satu bek terhebat sepanjang masa. Sebagai kapten Milan dan Italia selama bertahun-tahun ia dijuluki "''Il Capitano''". Maldini memegang [[Rekor sepak bola di Italia#Penampilan|rekor penampilan terbanyak di Serie A]], dengan 647 penampilan (sampai tahun 2020, ketika ia diambil alih oleh [[Gianluigi Buffon]]) dan memegang rekor penampilan terbanyak di final [[Liga Champions UEFA]] (8) bersama Paco Gento.
Maldini menghabiskan seluruh 25 musim karir bermainnya di [[Serie A]] bersama AC Milan, sebelum pensiun pada usia 41 tahun pada tahun 2009. Ia memenangi 25 piala bersama AC Milan yaitu: [[Liga Champions UEFA]] sebanyak 5 kali, [[Serie A]] sebanyak 7 kali, [[Piala Italia]] 1 kali, [[Piala Super Italia]] 5 kali, [[Piala Super UEFA]] 4 kali, [[Piala Interkontinental]] 2 kali dan 1 [[Piala Dunia Antarklub FIFA]].
Maldini melakukan debut untuk Italia pada tahun 1988, bermain selama 14 tahun sebelum pensiun pada tahun 2002 dengan 7 gol dan 126 caps, sebuah rekor penampilan pada saat itu, yang kemudian dilampaui oleh [[Fabio Cannavaro]] dan Gianluigi Buffon. Maldini menjadi kapten Italia selama delapan tahun dan memegang rekor penampilan sebagai kapten Italia (75), hingga kembali disusul oleh Cannavaro dan Buffon. Bersama Italia, Maldini mengambil bagian dalam empat [[Piala Dunia FIFA]] dan tiga [[Kejuaraan Eropa UEFA]]. Meskipun ia tidak memenangkan turnamen bersama Italia, ia mencapai final [[Piala Dunia FIFA 1994|Piala Dunia 1994]] dan [[UEFA Euro 2000|Euro 2000]], dan semifinal [[Piala Dunia FIFA 1990|Piala Dunia 1990]] dan [[Kejuaraan Eropa UEFA 1988|Euro 1988]]. Dia terpilih menjadi tim all-star untuk setiap turnamen ini, selain [[UEFA Euro 1996|Euro 1996]].
Maldini berada di urutan kedua setelah [[George Weah]] untuk Pemain Terbaik Dunia FIFA Tahun 1995. Dia juga menempati posisi ketiga di [[Ballon d'Or]] pada tahun 1994 dan 2003. Pada tahun 2002, ia terpilih sebagai bek di [[FIFA World Cup Dream Team]], dan pada tahun 2004 [[Pelé]] memasukkannya ke dalam daftar pemain terhebat [[FIFA 100]] yang masih hidup di dunia. Dia menduduki peringkat ke-21 dalam daftar 100 pemain terhebat abad ke-20 versi majalah ''[[World Soccer]]''. Ia juga terpilih masuk dalam [[Ballon d'Or Dream Team]] pada tahun 2020. Maldini memegang rekor penampilan terbanyak di kompetisi klub UEFA, dengan 174, hingga ia disusul oleh [[Iker Casillas]] pada tahun 2017. Dia adalah pemegang rekor penampilan untuk Milan dengan 902 penampilan di semua kompetisi, dan merupakan salah satu dari sedikit pemain yang membuat lebih dari 1.000 penampilan dalam kariernya. Pada bulan Desember 2012, ia dilantik menjadi anggota ''Italian Football Hall of Fame''.
== Karier klub ==
===1978–1987: Karier muda, debut senior AC Milan dan awal karier profesional===
Pada tahun 1978, pada usia 10 tahun, Maldini mengikuti uji coba pertamanya untuk akademi muda AC Milan. Sebelumnya, ia hanya bermain sepak bola jalanan. Ia berhasil memainkan permainan uji coba sebagai [[gelandang|gelandang kanan]] atau pemain sayap dalam formasi 4–4–2 dan diterima dalam skuad kelompok usianya. Ia terus bermain di posisi ini hingga usia 14 tahun, ketika ia dipindahkan ke [[bek]] kanan. Karena ia pandai menguasai bola dengan kedua kakinya, ia terkadang juga dimainkan di sisi kiri.
Maldini memenangkan [[Coppa Italia Primavera]] dengan tim Milan Youth selama musim 1984-85, dan ia membuat debut [[Serie A|liga]] untuk Milan di bawah manajer [[Nils Liedholm]] selama musim yang sama pada 20 Januari 1985, menggantikan [[Sergio Battistini]] yang cedera dalam pertandingan melawan [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] pada usia 16 tahun. Itu adalah satu-satunya penampilan liga-nya musim itu, tetapi ia langsung menjadi anggota starting eleven musim berikutnya, pada usia 17 tahun, di bek kanan, diberi nomor punggung 3, yang sebelumnya juga milik ayahnya, Cesare. Maldini juga membuat debut [[Coppa Italia]] pada tahun 1985, pada 21 Agustus, sementara debutnya di kompetisi Eropa juga datang kemudian pada tahun yang sama, pada 18 September. Ia mencetak gol pertama dari 29 golnya di [[Serie A]] pada 4 Januari 1987 dalam kemenangan 1-0 melawan [[Como 1907|Como]].
===1987–1991: Kesuksesan domestik dan internasional dengan ''The Immortals''===
Scudetto 1987–88 di bawah asuhan [[Arrigo Sacchi]] menandai trofi pertama Maldini, dan yang pertama dari tujuh gelar liga, bersama klub tersebut. Dijuluki "The Immortals", tim Milan asuhan Sacchi dikenang karena menyertakan trio Belanda [[Frank Rijkaard]], [[Ruud Gullit]] dan [[Marco van Basten]], serta gelandang Italia [[Carlo Ancelotti]], [[Roberto Donadoni]] (dan kemudian [[Demetrio Albertini]]), dan barisan pertahanan yang kuat. Di bawah Sacchi dan kemudian [[Fabio Capello]], Maldini membentuk formasi dengan pemain lama [[Franco Baresi]], [[Alessandro Costacurta]], [[Mauro Tassotti]], serta [[Filippo Galli]], [[Stefano Nava]] dan kemudian [[Christian Panucci]], salah satu kuartet pertahanan terkuat sepanjang masa. Selama musim Serie A 1987–88, Milan hanya kebobolan 14 gol, berakhir dengan pertahanan terbaik di Italia, saat mereka terus memenangkan gelar Serie A. Maldini kemudian memenangkan [[Piala Super Italia 1988]] bersama Milan pada musim berikutnya, dan mengikuti trofi ini dengan gelar piala [[Liga Champions]] berturut-turut pada 1988–89 dan 1989–90, sementara Milan finis di posisi ketiga dan kedua di Serie A selama musim masing-masing. Pada 19 Februari 1989, Maldini membuat penampilan ke-100 di Serie A.
Milan mencapai final [[1989–90 Coppa Italia|Piala Italia 1989-90]], kalah dari [[Juventus FC|Juventus]]. Milan juga berhasil merebut gelar [[Piala Super UEFA]] berturut-turut pada [[Piala Super UEFA 1989|1989]] dan [[Piala Super UEFA 1990|1990]], serta gelar [[Piala Interkontinental]] berturut-turut, sekali lagi [[Piala Interkontinental 1989|1989]] dan [[Piala Interkontinental 1990|1990]]. Musim berikutnya, pada musim terakhir Sacchi bersama klub, Milan tersingkir di perempat final [[Liga Champions UEFA]] oleh finalis [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]], dan finis kedua di [[Serie A]], di belakang [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]], sekali lagi dengan pertahanan terbaik di liga, hanya kebobolan 19 gol. Milan mencapai semifinal [[Piala Italia]], kalah dari juara akhirnya [[AS Roma]]. Pada tahun 1989, Maldini dianugerahi [[Bravo Award]], sebagai pemain U-23 terbaik di Kompetisi Eropa.<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
===1991–1996: Continued success with ''The invincibles''===
Under Sacchi's replacement, Fabio Capello, Milan continued to be a dominant force in Italy and in Europe. Maldini was also part of Milan's undefeated Serie A team, which won the championship in the [[1991–92 Serie A|1991–92 season]]; in total, Milan went unbeaten for an Italian record of 58 league matches, earning the nickname "The Invincibles".<ref name=ubeaten>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=1745954.html|title=The longest unbeaten runs in European football|publisher=UEFA|date=4 February 2016|access-date=29 July 2016|archive-date=14 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170614055608/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=1745954.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This championship was Milan's first of three consecutive Serie A titles under Capello in the early 1990s. Maldini helped Milan defend the [[1992–93 Serie A|Serie A title]] the following season, and reach the first of three consecutive [[List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League finals|UEFA Champions League finals]]. Milan lost the [[1993 UEFA Champions League final|1993 Champions League final]] in a 1–0 defeat to Marseille. That season, Maldini scored his first goal in [[UEFA club competitions|European Competitions]] on 21 October 1992 in a 1–0 Champions League win against [[ŠK Slovan Bratislava|Slovan Bratislava]],<ref name="paolo"/> and also made his 200th appearance in Serie A on 4 October of the same year.<ref name="Date – Paolo Maldini"/> The following season, Milan captured their third consecutive [[1993–94 Serie A|Serie A title]], finishing with the best defence in Italy, conceding just 15 goals. Maldini also helped lead Milan to a second consecutive [[1994 UEFA Champions League final|Champions League final]], where he helped his team defeat [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]]. Due to Alessandro Costacurta's suspension and injuries sustained to Franco Baresi, [[Jean-Pierre Papin]] and Marco van Basten, Barcelona's "Dream Team", coached by [[Johan Cruyff]], were heavy favourites to win the trophy, with the formidable attacking duo of [[Romário]] and [[Hristo Stoichkov]].<ref name="Dream"/> Despite their key absences, Maldini helped the Milan defence keep a clean sheet and overcome Barcelona 4–0 in the final, with two goals from [[Daniele Massaro]] and one each from [[Dejan Savićević]] and [[Marcel Desailly]].<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/><ref name="Dream">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/mar/28/barcelona-milan-champions-league-1994|title=Barcelona v Milan revisited: The night in 1994 the Dream died|work=The Guardian|first=Sid|last=Lowe|authorlink=Sid Lowe|date=28 March 2012|access-date=10 April 2015|archive-date=7 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211007122050/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/mar/28/barcelona-milan-champions-league-1994|url-status=live}}</ref>
After winning his third Champions League title and reaching the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994 World Cup]] final, Maldini became the first defender ever to win ''[[World Soccer Magazine|World Soccer]]'' magazine's annual [[World Soccer Magazine#Award winners|World Player of the Year Award]]. During his acceptance speech, Maldini called his milestone "a particular matter of pride because defenders generally receive so much less attention from fans and the media than goalscorers. We are more in the engine room rather than taking the glory".<ref name=speech>{{cite web |url=http://www.cs.wm.edu/~wm/maldini.html |title=Paolo Maldini |access-date=25 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511045346/http://www.cs.wm.edu/~wm/maldini.html |archive-date=11 May 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref> He then singled out Milan captain Franco Baresi as a player who "really [deserved] to receive the sort of award I have received".<ref name=speech/> Maldini also placed third in the [[1994 Ballon d'Or]], behind Stoichkov and compatriot [[Roberto Baggio]], and fifth in the [[1994 FIFA World Player of the Year|FIFA World Player of the Year Award]].<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
The following season, Milan and Maldini captured their third consecutive [[Supercoppa Italiana]] under Capello, and won the [[1994 European Super Cup|European Super Cup]], missing out on the [[1994 Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup]]. After three consecutive titles, Milan were unable to retain their [[1994–95 Serie A|Serie A title]], although they reached their third consecutive [[1995 UEFA Champions League Final|Champions League final]], where they were defeated 1–0 by [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]]. Maldini came second behind future teammate [[George Weah]] in the [[1995 FIFA World Player of the Year]] Award for his performances. On 17 February 1995, he made his 300th appearance in Serie A.<ref name="Date – Paolo Maldini"/> Maldini was able to capture his fifth Serie A title, and his fourth under Capello, the [[1995–96 Serie A|following season]].<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
===1996–2001: Assuming the captaincy, struggles, and 1999 Serie A title===
Following Capello's departure, and the aging and retirement of several key players, Milan suffered disappointing results during the next few seasons, undergoing several managerial changes. Milan lost the [[1996 Supercoppa Italiana|Supercoppa Italiana]] to [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] in 1996, and failed to qualify for European competitions for two consecutive seasons, as well as suffering a group stage elimination in the [[1996–97 UEFA Champions League|1996–97 Champions League]]. Following Franco Baresi's and Mauro Tassotti's retirement after the [[1996–97 AC Milan season|1996–97 season]], Maldini was appointed Milan's [[Captain (association football)|captain]]. Despite the difficulties Milan encountered during this period, through Maldini's leadership, they reached the [[1998 Coppa Italia final|Coppa Italia final in 1998]], losing to [[SS Lazio|Lazio]], and won the [[1998–99 Serie A|1998–99 Serie A title]] under [[Alberto Zaccheroni]], finishing one point ahead of Lazio. He made his 400th Serie A appearance on 25 April 1999.<ref name="Date – Paolo Maldini"/> In the [[1999–2000 AC Milan season|1999–2000 season]], Milan lost the [[1999 Supercoppa Italiana|Supercoppa Italiana]] against [[Parma Calcio 1913|Parma]], finished third in [[1999–2000 Serie A|Serie A]] and finished bottom of their [[1999–2000 UEFA Champions League group stage|Champions League group]]. Milan were eliminated in the second round of the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] the next season and finished in sixth place in [[2000–01 Serie A|Serie A]], failing to qualify for the Champions League, and participated in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] the following season.<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
===2001–2007: New era of success===

Milan again became a dominant force in Italy and in Europe under [[Carlo Ancelotti]]. In the [[2001–02 Serie A|2001–02 season]], Milan finished in fourth place, qualifying for the Champions League, and also reached their best ever finish in the [[2001–02 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]], losing in the semi-finals. In 2002, Maldini was awarded the [[Premio Nazionale Carriera Esemplare "Gaetano Scirea"]], for his career achievements and personality.<ref name="comune.cinisello-balsamo.mi.it">{{cite web|title=Premio Nazionale Carriera Esemplare "Gaetano Scirea": Alba d'Oro|url=http://www.comune.cinisello-balsamo.mi.it/spip.php?article3932|access-date=21 January 2015|archive-date=22 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022191358/https://www.comune.cinisello-balsamo.mi.it/spip.php?article3932|url-status=live}}</ref> The following season, Maldini lined up with [[Alessandro Nesta]], Alessandro Costacurta and [[Cafu]], who, along with [[Jaap Stam]] during the [[2004–05 AC Milan season|2004–05 season]], formed a formidable defensive lineup in Italy and in Europe. Milan finished third in [[2002–03 Serie A|Serie A]], but Maldini won the first [[2002–03 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]] of his career, defeating Roma in the final.<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/> On 15 March 2003, he made his 500th appearance in Serie A.<ref name="Date – Paolo Maldini"/>
Milan won the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League|2002–03 Champions League]] with Maldini as their captain for the first time in his career, in the first all-Italian final, against Juventus, on 28 May 2003 at [[Old Trafford]]. Maldini helped Milan keep a clean sheet, as they defeated Juventus 3–2 on penalties after a 0–0 deadlock following extra time. On that day, it was exactly 40 years since his father, [[Cesare Maldini|Cesare]], had also lifted the [[1963 European Cup final|European Cup trophy]] as Milan's captain, also in England.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=ita/news/newsid=834649.html|title=Retiring Maldini celebrates the beauty of Milan|publisher=UEFA|date=29 May 2009|access-date=29 January 2016|archive-date=15 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200215212950/https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=ita/news/newsid=834649.html|url-status=live}}</ref> He and his father are only one of three other father-son pairs to have also done so; the others being [[Manuel Sanchís Martínez|Manuel]] and [[Manolo Sanchís]] of [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], and [[Carles Busquets|Carles]] and [[Sergio Busquets]] of Barcelona. Maldini was elected [[2003 UEFA Champions League final|Man of the Match]] and was named in the [[UEFA Team of the Year]] for the first time in his career.<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
The following season, Milan were defeated by Juventus on penalties in the [[2003 Supercoppa Italiana|Supercoppa Italiana]], and in the [[2003 Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup]] final by [[Boca Juniors]], once again on penalties, but managed to defeat [[FC Porto|Porto]] to capture yet another [[2003 UEFA Super Cup|UEFA Super Cup]]. Maldini placed third in the [[2003 Ballon d'Or]] for the second time in his career. Maldini went on to captain Milan to win the [[2003–04 Serie A|Serie A title]] that season, with a record 82 points, whilst Milan were eliminated in the semi-finals of the [[2003–04 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]] by Lazio, and in the quarter-finals of the [[2003–04 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] by [[Deportivo de La Coruña]]. In April 2004, Maldini placed tenth on the ''[[UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll]]'', an online [[UEFA]] survey, which was organised to commemorate the best European footballers of the past 50 years. Maldini was the second-highest placed Italian after [[Dino Zoff]].<ref name="uefa.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/171606.pdf|title=Zinedine Zidane voted top player by fans|publisher=UEFA|access-date=24 July 2014|archive-date=24 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024165721/http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/171606.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Maldini was also included in the [[FIFA 100|FIFA 100 list]] in 2004, which was a selection of the 125 greatest living footballers, chosen by [[Pelé]]. Following his Series A-winning performances, Maldini was elected to be the [[Serie A Defender of the Year]] in 2004 at the [[Oscar del Calcio|Italian footballing Awards]].<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>

Maldini began the next season by lifting the [[2004 Supercoppa Italiana]] as captain after Milan defeated Lazio. Milan finished second in [[2004–05 Serie A|Serie A]] to Juventus that season, and reached the [[2005 UEFA Champions League final|Champions League final]], only to lose out on penalties to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], although Maldini opened the scoring in the first minute. In 2005, Maldini was elected to be a part of the [[UEFA Team of the Year]] for the second time in his career, and was also elected to be the part of the [[FIFPro World XI]] for the first time in his career. The following season, Milan finished second behind Juventus in [[2005–06 Serie A|Serie A]] once again, and reached the [[2005–06 UEFA Champions League|Champions League semi-finals]], only to be defeated by [[2006 UEFA Champions League final|eventual champions]] Barcelona. Both Juventus and Milan were later deducted points for being involved in the [[2006 Italian football scandal|2006 "''Calciopoli''" matchfixing scandal]], and the title was awarded to [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]], while Juventus were relegated, with Milan finishing in third place after the point deduction. During the season, Maldini scored his first and only double of his career, against [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]]. On 25 September 2005, Maldini broke Dino Zoff's Serie A appearance record after playing his 571st league match against [[Treviso F.B.C.|Treviso]];<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=343889&&cc=3888|title=Maldini sets record|date=25 September 2005|website=[[ESPN]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714110456/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=343889&&cc=5739|archive-date=14 July 2012|access-date=25 April 2008}}</ref> seven days earlier, he had played his 800th game in all competitions for Milan.<ref name="paolo"/><ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
The following season, Maldini helped to captain Milan to a [[2006–07 Serie A|fourth-place finish]], despite their point deduction, leading them to obtain a crucial Champions League qualifying spot. Maldini played his 600th Serie A match on 13 May 2007 in a 1–1 draw at [[Calcio Catania|Catania]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Squadre/Milan/Primo_Piano/2007/05_Maggio/14/MALDINI.shtml | title=Maldini infinito: e sono 600 | publisher=[[Gazzetta dello Sport]] | access-date=14 May 2007 | date=14 May 2007 | language=it | archive-date=25 July 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130725154132/http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Squadre/Milan/Primo_Piano/2007/05_Maggio/14/MALDINI.shtml | url-status=live }}</ref> That season, Maldini captained Milan to their third Champions League final in six years, leading them to a 2–1 victory over Liverpool in the [[2007 UEFA Champions League final|final]] on 23 May 2007 in [[Athens]], avenging their defeat from 2005.

In an interview with [[ESPN]] aired prior to the 2007 final, Maldini labeled the 2005 Champions League final as the worst moment of his career. A match where he scored the fastest-ever goal in a European Cup final after 51 seconds and became the oldest player ever to score in a final, Milan lost on penalties to Liverpool after leading 3–0 at half-time.

Maldini participated in his first [[1990 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in 1990 on home soil, appearing in all seven Italy matches. He helped Italy to win five consecutive games and was a starting member of the defence that kept a [[List of FIFA World Cup records|FIFA World Cup record]] of five consecutive clean sheets. The Italian defence eventually conceded an equalising goal in the semi-final match against [[Carlos Bilardo]]'s [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], after going a [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] record total of 518 minutes without conceding.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-gentleman-ultra/2014/jun/05/internazionale-inter-milan-serie-a-alternative-club-guide|title=Internazionale: Serie A alternative club guide|work=The Guardian|date=5 June 2014|access-date=24 July 2014|archive-date=13 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613160551/https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-gentleman-ultra/2014/jun/05/internazionale-inter-milan-serie-a-alternative-club-guide|url-status=live}}</ref> Following two periods of extra time, in which neither team was able to score, Italy lost out to Argentina on penalties. Italy eventually placed third after defeating [[England national football team|England]] 2–1 in the third-place final match, and finishing the tournament with the best defence having conceded two goals throughout the entire World Cup. Maldini was elected to be part of the [[1990 FIFA World Cup#All-star team|Team of the Tournament]].<ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/><ref name="Nazionale in cifre: Paolo Maldini"/>
===1994 World Cup final and appointment to captaincy===
Maldini's first international goal came in his 44th career match, in a 2–0 friendly win over [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] in [[Florence]] on 20 January 1993.<ref name="25th July 2014"/> Maldini was part of the Italy squad that participated in the [[1992 U.S. Cup]], finishing in second place in the friendly tournament, behind the [[United States men's national soccer team|host nation]]. Italy failed to qualify for [[UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying|Euro 1992]], finishing second in their group, but [[1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)|qualified for the 1994 World Cup]], where Maldini was named vice-captain for Italy. During the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994 World Cup]], Maldini played in all seven of Italy's matches, and deputised for the injured Franco Baresi in the matches against Mexico, [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]], [[Spain men's national football team|Spain]] and [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]], keeping a clean sheet in the group match against [[Norway national football team|Norway]]. Maldini led the Italian defence to the final, playing both as a centre-back and as a full-back, due to the absences of his Milan and Italy defensive teammates Baresi, due to injury, Mauro Tassotti, due to suspension after the quarter-finals, and Alessandro Costacurta, who was suspended for the final. Maldini helped Italy keep a clean sheet in [[1994 FIFA World Cup final|the final]] against favourites [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] as the team eventually lost on penalties. As in 1990, Maldini was named in the [[1994 FIFA World Cup#All-star team|Team of the Tournament]], 32 years after his father Cesare received the same honour at the [[1962 FIFA World Cup|1962 World Cup]].<ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/><ref name="Nazionale in cifre: Paolo Maldini"/>

After Franco Baresi's international retirement in 1994, Maldini was appointed the team's full-time captain. A disappointing [[UEFA Euro 1996|Euro 1996]] campaign saw Italy eliminated in the group stage with four points, in a group which contained the two eventual finalists of the tournament, [[Germany national football team|Germany]] and the [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]]. Maldini played in all three of Italy's group matches.<ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
The [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]] in France saw Italy start strongly, topping their group. Maldini played in all five of Italy's matches, and started the play that led to [[Christian Vieri]]'s opening goal in Italy's first match against [[Chile national football team|Chile]], which ended in a 2–2 draw. Maldini, partnering with Alessandro Costacurta, [[Fabio Cannavaro]], [[Alessandro Nesta]] and [[Giuseppe Bergomi]], also helped Italy to keep clean sheets in the second group match against [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]], the round of 16 match Norway and [[France national football team|France]] in the quarter-finals, but Italy eventually went out of the tournament to the hosts and eventual champions on penalties, for the third consecutive time in a World Cup.<ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/>
===Euro 2000 final and fourth World Cup===
Maldini made his 100th appearance for Italy on 28 April 1999, in a 0–0 friendly away draw against Croatia, under manager [[Dino Zoff]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.raisport.rai.it/news/sport/nazionale/199904/28/372740fb01b9a/|title=Troppo amichevole|publisher=RaiSport|language=it|date=28 April 1999|access-date=22 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180523095345/http://www2.raisport.rai.it/news/sport/nazionale/199904/28/372740fb01b9a/|archive-date=23 May 2018|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The following year, Italy reached the [[UEFA Euro 2000 final|final]] of [[UEFA Euro 2000|Euro 2000]], but lost once again to defending World Cup champions France in extra time. Maldini played in all six of Italy's matches during the tournament. Italy topped their group, winning every match, and Maldini, starting alongside Fabio Cannavaro and Alessandro Nesta, helped the Italian defence to concede only two goals en route to the final, keeping clean sheets against co-hosts [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] in the group stage, [[Romania national football team|Romania]] in the quarter-finals and co-hosts the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] in the semi-finals. A ten-man Italy advanced to the final on penalties after a 0–0 draw with the Dutch following extra time.

Italy disappointed in the remaining group matches, but went on to the knockout round as the second placed team of their group. On 18 June, immediately after a ten-man Italy were controversially eliminated in the round of sixteen, by a golden goal, to co-hosts [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]], Maldini retired from international football, at the age of 34, as Italy's [[List of men's footballers with 100 or more international caps|most capped player]].<ref name="Paolo MaIdini: Io sono leggenda"/> He scored seven international goals, all coming in home games.
