As Van Basten said, "Franco Baresi is the Johan Cruyff of defenders". He's the TOTAL defender.

196 games together 23 goals conceded

Winning : 5 UEFA Champions League titles 7 Serie A titles 1 Coppa Italia title 5 Supercoppa Italiana titles 4 European Super Cups titles 2 Intercontinental Cups titles and 1 FIFA Club World Cup title With only : Received 2 red cards on his entire carrer, 1 againts Lazio 1995/1996 and 1 againts Ancona 2003/2004 You can imagine how great this Defender with 2 Red Cards in his entire carrer!! True Legend!!

Maldini nesta together it's gonna be very tough Maldini baresi together it's impossible to get through them

The most disappointing thing about modern football is that nobody ever asks, "Where is the next Baresi, Maldini, Beckenbauer, Koemann, Scirea, Adams, Zanetti ?" Nobody ever asks where the next truly great defender is coming from.....and to be honest, I would build my club on the shoulders of anyone of the great defensive players before I ever thought about the premaddonnas who play further up the pitch.

That was not fair towards the rest of the teams. I think that if you have Baresi and Maldini in the same team, at least you should not be allowed having a goalkeeper. Too easy

Definitely the best duo all time.

Maldini deserved at least a Ballon d'or!!!

Who is Sergio Ramos? Who is Van Djik? Who is Pique? This is FOOTBALL 🇮🇹👑

That baresi game in 94 is the greatest individual performance of all time

Baresi was immense in 1994 world cup final it's a shame he missed the penalty after such a great performance

Imagine a team with: German goalkeepers Italian defenders Spanish midfielders Brazilian attackers "english midfielders" "dutch midfielders" "french midfielders" "spanish midfielders" this is the 5th time i've changed the comment just make up your damn mind it's not that hard

they played on the same team with Van Basten, Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Alessando Costacurta, Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Donadoni... what fun!

I can imagine Neymar and Cristiano going to psycho therapy after playing against them.

Italians had the best defenders:Maldini, Cannavaro, Costacurta, Baresi, Materazzi, Nesta, Gentile, Scirea. Gg

2:29 best tackle i,ve ever seen in football

those italian defenders were smooth like mozzarella and hard like parmesan

3:07 even when he scores he does it with a tackle... What a legend

02:46 What in the World is that??? Maldini was just unreal...what's up with that move!!!

When are AC Milan going to come back to being great again...It's weird not seeing them challenging in Italy and Europe.

this is all reason why Messi and CR7 still exist till now...they're play in different era ..LooLLLLL

Cazzo MILAAAAAAAAAN!!! Mi sono venuti i brividi, che epoca porca miseria, che spettacolo quei due! Per sempre Capitan Baresi! Per sempre Capitan Maldini!

italian art of defending, best in the world 4 sure

gods of defense

this is a video of Maldini's mistakes. "If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake." - Paolo Maldini

When Baresi finished his career, i finished to follow actively the soccer. He made the sweeper role something to be aspired.

World's simplest job goes to ac Milan goalkeeper

I'm a Milan fan...you made me cry😢

Baresi is so underrated! Often people overlook him but this duo was the best ever without a doubt

5:40 his son Daniel now plays for AC Milan.

Love both these guys, but pretty sure Maldini didn't partner up with Baresi at the back (or even if he did, not too many times). When Franco was playing, Maldini was the best left back in the world and only moved to centre back to fill in the hole that Baresi left after his departure. Great video though

what an incredible art of defending..with a ball playing mastery

Watching this video after a Mustafi, Smalling and Jones compilation is like an antidote for my eyes.

This is beautiful. I miss sliding tackles.

2:18 rivaldo being tackle😮😮😮

Franco Baresi didn't leave Milan when it was in B league, he is considered the real Captain of the Milan: when in the final in Pasadena Italy reached the penalties against Brazil, Baresi, only 3 weeks after the operation on his knee, exhausted by cramps, proposed to take the penalty because he claimed that someone was needed to give courage to the troops. After the mistake, his live crying went around the world. A great leader. Paolo Maldini in 25 years always in Milan won 26 trophies. And neither of them won a Golden Ball. While Sammer yes: nothing against Sammer, a very good player but I think it is schoking that the duo Baresi and Maldini didn't win.

If you watch an interview the did with Ronaldo Nazario, he says Maldini was one of the worst defenders to be playing against. He and Baresi were that great!

It’s so sad that I didn’t get to watch these guys play..they are so good 🔥

Oh this is a beautiful video. Thank you for posting. My all time favorite defender!!! El Kaiser, Franco Baresi...I do like and respect Maldini, however, Baresi, he, eh, eh!! Madonna mia!!! No ce vive cosi!!! I am sure Maldini would not object. Thank you, for those of us who enjoy hard, competitive, respectful, passionate, soccer, the true cattenagio, here it is in my view, in its best form.

Iconic defenders that we'll never see the likes of again

3 of these goals were taken in the game against São Paulo in the final of the world championship clubs in 1992. The rest is history...

Maldini and baresi🇮🇹👑 The best duo difender of the all time in footbal❤🖤

In Italia i più grandi calciatori di sempre....... Maldini..baresi....Baggio.....unici ♥️🖤🇮🇹

Two fabulous defenders

Ah, the good old days of Milan... I miss the Italian great defender. When the next Baresi and next Malidini will rise again?

Forgot how great Maldini was! Wow! There's nobody like him since!

La migliore coppia difensiva di sempre. E con grosso margine sui secondi, chiunque essi siano

Gods of defence.... grandiosi campioni di un calcio d'altri tempi... Baresi e Maldini esempi per tutti i veri sportivi

LEGGENDEEEE COME VOIII NESSUNO MAII!!!! FORZA MILAN SEMPRE E CMQ!!!!

Best defence in the world . And don't forget final 1994 Vs Brasil . Maldini and baresi VS romario and bibito . In this final romario and bibito was a blind men's . Grande Capitano . I have a pic from Italy in 1994 Vs Norway. And I keepd it all this time .

Him and maldini only played together for 196 matches they conceded only 23 goals 🤯🤯🤯

Milan’s back line was phenomenal. Wish I would travel back to that era

Finalmente qualcuno che conosce il calcio ( per me ) ... in tanti parlano di nesta , grande giocatore , ma in pochi parlano di Baresi : il piu grande difensore di tutti i tempi !!!!!! Gli you tuber dimenticano Baresi come se dimenticassero Maradona , Pele' o Batistuta.... Baresi il migliore , Maldini il secondo

Essa foi a maior e melhor dupla de zaga da história!

The Legendary off Paolo Maldini 👏👏

This is art !!! 🔥

If you consider yourself as one of the best attackers you must face one of the greatest defenders, simple is that

Defendiendo hoy Ramos y Pique son dos TRONCOS al lado de estas leyendas!

Baresi le maestro Maldini l'indestructible Deux visages inoubliables du bon foot ball et de l'histoire italienne du football.Ah la belle époque . Du Maroc.

Best Defender Ever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Maior dupla de zaga da história do futebol !!!

Legends... immortals

Absolutely no question, the greatest and most formidable defensive partnership of all time. Stats speak for themselves. Conceding just 23 goals in nearly 200 games as a duo. Astonishing.

Beyond legendary

Amazing. and Maldini can be considered hero of the two worlds, he played vs maradona and vs ronaldo, debuted in 1985 at the age of 16

It's illegal to have Maldini & Baresi in the same team. -Lionel Messi-

Good background music. Nice choice

The best defenders of the history of football

Arrigo Sachi’s Milan,,,the reason I love this sport today !!!!! ...but, 23 goals conceded in 196 matches is a big number 😋⚽️🏆✌🏼💙

Ho visto Baresi far reparto da solo a centrocampo, con tutto il resto della squadra in avanti, riprendere chiunque avesse provato ad andare verso la porta.. C’era Van Basten, c’era Gullit, ma quando guardavi lui, ti rendevi conto che stavi osservando qualcosa di irripetibile.

Art of defender and both is legend in forever

Tackling, positioning, incredible

Complete domination defensively!!!

It definitely shows how strong people were back then, now there’s just players falling for the slightest touch.

Two legends..

Melhor dupla de zaga de todos os tempos.

This song name: Dance at the moonlight :)

Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.. Greatest Centrehalf partnership in history???

Insomma questi 3 difensori erano sempre nei pensieri del centravanti della squadra avversaria... Grazie MILAN

Level of football has actually gone down a lot. These players used to be beast on the ground. Damn ❤

Respect

Best Defensive Duo Ever no doubt for who knows about Football

BARESI, MALDINI two of the best difenders ever, from the same country, the same era, in the same teem. EPIC.!!!!!!!!!

The iconic moments card of these 2 guys in PES are rock solid as in reality

@1:10 woooow

196 games only 23 goals conceded😮😮😮 that's too good men!! Impressive is not the word am beyond wowed!! This is the best defensive partnership ever to grace football and ever will. THE GREATEST OF ALL POSSIBLE TIME 🥇

My team (São Paulo) has 3 Club World Cups. But the Club World Cup that we won in 93, against Maldini and Baresi Milan, should have been worth 10. The greatest defense duo of all time.

Wish I was alive to watch this legend in his prime

all the players in this video would easily be the best player in the world today

VIVA Maldini...2:46.....awesome best defend ever

It's sheer delight seeing Maldini defend. He plays as if his life depends on it.

The Art of defence

Baresi - Maldini ' It was like a teacher with his pupil, ” Most of you consider maldini better than baresi . But baresi was a beast the destroyer with clean tackles

Heres something that many people didn’t know actually on one time of AC Milan baresi maldini and van basten rjikaard and gullit were in one team

2 fenomeni della difesa...2 grandissimi campioni!

Due dei tre migliori difensori che ho visto giocare. Il terzo Cafu. Il quarto Scirea. Beckenbauer per motivi anagrafici l'ho visto solo in replica in Italia -Gernania 4-3. Quei due erano ingiocabili. Spesso e volentieri quando l'attaccante di turno pensava di averli saltati si stava solo illudendo, perché entravano in scivolata e la palla non l'avrebbe più vista. È stato un grande piacere ammirarli anche tifando un'altra squadra.

Gk: Yashin Rb: Cafu Cbs: Baresi, Beckenbauer/ Nesta/ Scirea/ Gentile Lb: Maldini Cms: Xavi, Iniesta Cam: Zidane/ Cruyff/ Maradona/ pele Lw: Cr7 Rw: Messi St: R9/ müller/ van basten This just has to be the greatest team ever

The best players on the best team of all time

During his haydays years in Napoli, Maradona was flowing like water. And Baresi was the recipient that contained him.

Baresi and Maldini, legends ⚔️
