Tributes have poured in from across the football world, with Inter, Juventus and Real Madrid among those honouring legendary Milan and Italy defender Franco Baresi, who has died at the age of 66.
Football clubs, players and fans pay tribute to Franco Baresi, who died last night at 66.
The former Milan and Italy defender underwent surgery in August 2025 to remove a pulmonary nodule and then began a course of immunotherapy.
Milan announced the death of their legend in the morning, and the Rossoneri's statement was followed by reactions from several Italian and European clubs as well as football fans on social media.
"Announcing the loss of someone who embodied the heart and soul of AC Milan, is incredibly difficult. But everyone at the Club and all the Milanisti must live up to Franco Baresi's memory," Milan wrote.
