Theo Hernandez has revealed that Paolo Maldini gave him a gift after his record was broken during the game against Como a few days ago.
As a reminder, Theo scored the goal that levelled the game and it was certainly not among his best given that he shanked a shot that looped in somehow, but it might be among the most memorable.
It means that the Frenchman has scored 30 goals in Serie A, becoming the first defender in Milan’s history to reach this milestone in the competition (surpassing Paolo Maldini’s 29).
After the former Real Madrid man admitted it was emotional to pass his ‘idol’ and create history, Maldini wanted to mark the occasion by sending a gift to the man he signed.
He sent the 125th anniversary shirt (worn last month against Genoa) with the No.3 on the back and a message written on it: “To Theo, my rightful heir! I love you.”
