"Heroic derby. Teammates in chorus: 'You deserve it'. Estupiñán’s mother bursts into tears."
This is the headline in this morning’s La Gazzetta dello Sport. The paper explains that Pervis Estupiñán, the surprise hero on Sunday in the derby against Inter, received several messages on social media from his teammates, including Leão, Modrić and Rabiot. They wrote to him that he deserved to score and to be decisive in Milan’s victory in the Milan derby.
Family holds great importance in Estupiñán’s life. His wife Irina, his partner since they were very young, and their two children, the eldest Ainoha Sharlotte and little Liam Josué, must have celebrated wildly after the goal in the derby. Yet the happiest of all was his mother Doria, who watched the match wearing her son’s jersey and burst into tears of joy when he scored, as relayed via MilanNews.
