Why #3?Maldini wore 3 at Milan until he retired in 2009, after 25 years and 902 appearances. The club put the number away when he went, with one condition: it is "bequeathed to one of his sons if one of them were to make the club's senior team". Daniel Maldini reached the first team in 2019 and wore 98, then 27.Source: en.wikipedia.org
