Milan-Venezia was not just the night of Gonçalo Ramos’ first goal in the Rossoneri shirt and the Devil’s second consecutive league victory, but also Rafael Leao’s farewell and yet another tribute from the Milan fans to Franco Baresi.
Indeed, Corriere della Sera led its front page this morning with the headline "Leao’s farewell and the tribute to Baresi", who was remembered both before kick-off with a minute’s silence that turned into a minute of long and resounding applause, and in the sixth minute with chants from his Curva. The Portuguese, meanwhile, said goodbye to Milan, the fans, his teammates and the club after the match, visibly moved by the end of a love story that lasted a remarkable seven years.
