Paolo Maldini Unbeaten run

Paolo Maldini initially holds the record for the most appearances in Italian Serie A, with 647 appearance in the Italian league. In 2020, Glanluigi Buffon took over the record.

Meanwhile, Paolo Maldini still holds the record of the longest unbeaten run by a player in the Italian Serie A against Demetrio Albertino who equals his record but has just 46 wins.

Pep Guardiola arrival at Manchester city means some city player might also be listed on the top unbeaten runs by a player in the English Premier league.
