❤️🇮🇹 Paolo Maldini's beautiful tribute to his friend Franco Baresi, who sadly passed away today: 🗣️ "Goodbye, Franco. Today, I feel the same way I did whenever, for whatever reason, you couldn't be out on the pitch with us: How are we going to manage without our captain? You taught me to play until my very last breath, what it truly means to wear the shirt, and the value of being a real leader. You did it by example, every single day: few words, but countless actions. You protected me like a child, guided me as a young man, and inspired me as a man. You were the greatest footballer I ever had the honour of playing alongside. A kiss to all your family, especially your wife Maura and your children, Edoardo and Giannandrea. I'm going to miss you, captain. But under the light of your star, I will continue to walk beside you forever." ❤️🖤
