Today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport has dedicated its entire front page to Franco Baresi, who passed away yesterday at the age of 66.
The newspaper's headline reads:
"My Captain."
After a long illness, the legendary defender, Franco Baresi, who is an undisputed symbol of AC Milan who spent his entire playing career in the Rossoneri shirt, passed away yesterday morning, leaving an immeasurable void in the hearts of Milan supporters.
Italian football has lost one of its greatest icons, a man who won everything with the Diavolo: six Serie A titles (1978-79, 1987-88, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94, 1995-96), three European Cups (1989, 1990, 1994), two Intercontinental Cups (1989, 1990), three UEFA Super Cups (1989, 1990, 1995), and four Italian Super Cups (1989, 1992, 1993, 1994).
