When
we tearfully said goodbye to our heroes as they took their last lap around the
San Siro pitch, it felt like it was forever. But thanks to the Milan Glorie
team, we get to watch our heroes age “gracefully” in charity and farewell
matches around the globe. On Friday was one such occasion. With former Milan
player Kakha Kaladze having retired last year, he was finally allowed to have
his farewell match in Tblisi. It was a fantastic, star-studded event with some
of our favorites returning to the pitch in the red and black to honor him. And
while the level of play is entirely different, the competition not relevant,
there is still something magical about seeing our heroes together again on the
pitch…

| Baresi, Massaro, Maldini, and Shevchenko: Awesome times infinity |
 |
| Kaladze and his sons pregame: a little Milan PFW for the ladies |
 |
| Cannavaro tries to apologize for taking Maldini's NT appearance record |
 |
| Pippo and Kaladze |
Even
when things behind the scenes are turbulent, our future unknown, there is
always the sacred Rossoneri jersey to remind us of what brings us together:
football. And not just any football, but Milan football. The beautiful game
that is rich with memories as golden as our trophy cabinet. And whatever
happens today or tomorrow, no one can take yesterday from us. I’m so glad that goodbye is not forever.
