Alessandro Costacurta: ‘San Siro is an icon – it’s incredibly beautiful but it’s not functional’

“Alessandro Costacurta lasted 15 minutes of his first game at San Siro. He was, admittedly, not playing, but tagging along to watch his older brother’s favourite team. … But happily, far from the last.

Only his fellow defenders Paolo Maldini (902) and Franco Baresi (719) have made more appearances for the Rossoneri. Many of those were alongside him. …”
