âIt was a different Milan when you were there, so many champions and a different atmosphere. I started watching Milan play a little later than that,â confessed Bartesaghi.
He recently signed a new contract that runs to June 2030 and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Paolo Maldini as a one-club man.
âIt is my dream to stay at Milan for as long as possible, this is a magnificent club. I have a passion for Milan, the history speaks for itself.â
Bartesaghi is a left-back, but he took centre-stage in last seasonâs Supercoppa Italiana triumph, beating Inter 3-2.
âIt was totally unexpected, but we still believed we could do it. That was my first trophy, one of those moments I will never forget. Moving from the youth team to the senior squad was indescribable, a dream come true. I know that I have to keep going and do far more than I did this season. I hope many more kids can experience this in future.â
Despite their stuttering recent form that has them clinging on to third place in Serie A, he insists the mood in the dressing room is still positive.
âWe must always be respectful for the older players, be eager to listen and learn, but also have your say, not just stay silent.â
