Maldini admits AC Milan are a 'long way off' Juventus

The Rossoneri legend admitted the club are "a long way off" challenging their arch rivals for the Serie A title

Paolo Maldini insists AC Milan remain way behind Juventus in the battle for supremacy in Italy.

The 50-year-old was speaking after Gennaro Gattuso's side were held to a 1-1 draw at Cagliari, leaving them with a record of one win, one draw and one defeat from their opening three Serie A games in 2018-19.

In contrast, Juventus have won all four of their league matches and Maldini – who is in his first season as the club's sporting strategy and development director – accepted that the Rossoneri are unlikely to push for the title.
