Milan, Italy (My Sportsbook) - Veteran defender Fabio Cannavaro was a proud man after earning a record 127th Italy cap in the goalless tie with Switzerland. The 35-year-old started his Azzurri career way back in January 1997 and passed the previous mark set by the legendary Paolo Maldini on Wednesday evening. He said afterwards: "This is naturally a great honor for me to overtake a legend like Maldini. Now the games in my record are really quite a lot. "To wear the Azzurri jersey is the dream of every child, especially now it has four stars on it. "I never thought of setting records, but at the end of the day they are set to be broken. "The truth is it is always an honor every single time to wear this jersey and represent Italy. "Let us not forget these 127 caps included a victorious World Cup Final, that's what really matters."
