Theo Hernandez Surpasses Maldini's Historic Goal Record
AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez rewrites history by surpassing Paolo Maldini's goal record, solidifying his legacy as the club's top-scoring defender.
Theo Hernandez, AC Milan's electrifying left-back, reached a monumental milestone during the club's recent 2-1 victory over Como. By scoring his 30th goal for the Rossoneri, Hernandez officially surpassed Paolo Maldini's long-standing record, earning the title of AC Milan's highest-scoring defender.
The French defender joined Milan in 2019 and quickly established himself as a critical component of the team. Over the past six seasons, Hernandez has showcased an exceptional blend of speed, technical skill, and a keen eye for goal, making him one of the most versatile defenders in modern football. His 30th goal, a perfectly timed strike in the 71st minute, helped Milan level the score against Como before Rafael Leao netted the decisive winner.
Hernandez’s achievements go beyond the numbers. His ability to balance defensive duties with offensive contributions has redefined the role of a left-back. With 178 appearances across all competitions for Milan, his consistency and impact on the pitch have earned him comparisons to some of the game's greatest defenders. Surpassing a legendary figure like Maldini is a testament to his dedication and ability to deliver under pressure.
At just 27 years old, Hernandez is far from finished. His recent performances suggest he is poised to add more records to his name. As AC Milan looks to maintain their competitive edge in Serie A and European competitions, Hernandez’s presence will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in their success.
