Maldini and Baresi are probably my two favourite defenders of all time. There are two statistics in football history that will always be mindblowing to me. Messi's 92 goals in one calender year and the fact that Baresi and Maldini played 196 games together as a central defense pair (Maldini played most of his games in his career at left back, which aren't counted in this stat) for AC Milan and in those games only conceded 23 goals.

One of the rare 'knocks' against Maldini were his relatively lower statistics when it came to tackles, and a wily Italian journalist tried cornering him once by suddenly quoting his tackling stats during the interview and then asking why they were so poor. Maldini, without skipping a beat, replied: "If I have to make a tackle, then I have already failed". That just about floored the journalist, and the segment on Italian TV became famous. In fact, before 'going viral' was a thing, before the internet, the quote actually became world famous. It goes to show you that Maldini just saw the game very differently than how other defenders and pundits saw it at the time. While they were more concerned with tackling, he was focused on positioning so that he didn't have to make one at all. The quote also shows his situational awareness about what the interviewer was trying, and his sharpness of mind to give him a response that while true, turned the tables and made the journalist lose his composure. While his dad played for AC Milan for 12 years and won the Champions League both as a player and as a coach with Milan, Maldini was in 8 Champions League finals and spent 24 years playing for the Rossoneri!

Overall defensive ability = Check, Elegance on the ball = Check, Game intelligence = Check, Leadership = Check, Sportsmanship = Check, Loyalty = Check, Big game player = Check, Consistency = Check... could go on and on.
