Sorry to dig the thread, but just wanted to make the whole thing clear.

In 2005, after the Istanbul final, which Milan was leading 3-0 then lost in penatlies after a 3-3 draw, when the Milan squad reached the airport in Italy some fans in their early 20's reached to Maldini and demanded that he apologized for the loss. He didn't give them one( I also think something happened between them). He explained it later in an interview saying that he who has played football for about 21 years(At that time) was not going to apologize to a bunch of kids.

Then in the Europe Super cup, between Seville and Milan, the Milan Ultras were silent and weren't chearing, when there was other Milan fans singing and all...Maldini was upset from them(Ultras) and I think he told them something bad

He never had the greatest relationships with the Ultras, as he was never close to them. Even when he had just been appointed captain, they said that he didn't deserve to be. In case you don't know much about the Ultras, they are the "MAIN FANS" of the teams in Italy. Those people have extreme power in the stadiums, as many of them get free tickets or cheaper season tickets. They also have great power in the club, and Galliani who is just under Berlusconi in tearms of power has escorts with him to protect him for them. The Curva Nud(Milan Ultras) have many groups, when the FDL(Fossa Del Leoni, group of the Ultras) were separted the stadium was never the same. They used to be one of the most loyal group fans in the history of Milan, and they were awesome, thus the San Siro wasn't as nice as before, and Maldini said at a time that San Siro was losing it charm(didn't mention FDL though).

Hope that was a good explanation.:)
