“She thought it was a good idea and contacted a son of Paolo Maldini, told him the whole story and they sent us a shirt. I couldn’t believe it! I’m delighted to receive a shirt from a legend like him,” he told TV3.
“I never saw him play. I was very small. Also, when I was little, I didn’t pay much attention to center backs, more to the full-backs. Now I’ll have to pay attention to the center backs!”
Martin started off at left-back for Barcelona but has moved inside and formed a strong partnership with Pau Cubarsi while Alejandro Balde has been injured.
