AC Milan attacker Daniel Maldini full of pride after first goal in win at Spezia

AC Milan attacker Daniel Maldini was proud of his first goal for the club in victory over Spezia.

He became the third generation of Maldini to score in Serie A after father Paolo, who was in the stands as Milan director, and grandfather Cesare.

“I am very happy, it was such a strong sensation. Fortunately, we brought home the three points, I still need to let it sink in," Maldini told DAZN.

He has no shortage of people to give him advice, including his father and coach Stefano Pioli.

“I was told yesterday that I'd be in the starting XI and was shown some set play routines. There was tension, but my teammates really helped.

“Pioli really motivates me and gives me a lot of advice. So does my father, he's demanding, but only to the right degree. He is first and foremost a Dad."
