I think you've got the answer wrong. The question asks which of the players in the quiz is the only one whose country has not won the World Cup or Euros. The answers I've got are:

Cristiano Ronaldo
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Manuel Neuer
Miroslav Klose
Paolo Maldini
Lothar Mattheus
Thomas Muller
Hugo Lloris
Luka Modric
Philipp Lahm
Antoine Greizmann
Pepe

Of those the only one whose country hasn't won either competition is Luka Modric.

storied 25 season playing career as one of the game's greatest ever defenders is an accolade enough for Paolo Maldini.

But in that time - devoted entirely to Milan - Maldini also managed to make 36 appearances at major tournaments for Italy. Despite his success, Maldini was never in a side that won either the World Cup or the Euros.

Who knows what the answer is? 😂

Without seeing the paper, if the question is worded the way Midnighter has written it, then Maldini wouldn't have needed to have been part of the winning Italy side.

Just the fact that Italy have won one of the tournaments would rule him out as the answer.

The exact question is 'Of the 12 players below who is the only one whose country has not won the World Cup or Euros?' 

As Italy have won the World Cup 4 times that rules Maldini out. Croatia have won neither making Modric the answer.
