Maldini denies Traore claims

AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini has denied claims by Liverpool defender Djimi Traore the Rossoneri prematurely celebrated victory at half-time during Wednesday’s Champions League final in Istanbul.

Traore claimed that, with the Italians leading 3-0 thanks to a goal from Maldini and two from Hernan Crespo, Milan’s stars were already celebrating at the interval.
