00:01Italian football is paying tribute to one of its greatest icons, Franco Barresi, the legendary captain of AC Milan and
00:09the Italian national team, who has died at the age of 66.
00:12His death symbolically closes Nuria for Milan and for Italian football.
00:17In 20 years with Milan he experienced all the highs and lows of the club's recent history.
00:22He became the face of the all-conquering Milan of the 1980s and 1990s, which won several domestic and European
00:29titles.
00:29He also wrote important chapters in the history of Italian football with the national team.
00:35He was part of the squad that became world champions in Spain in 1982, even though he didn't play.
00:41Milan has lost its most emblematic standard bearer and, world football, one of the most successful defenders.
