Milan legend Paolo Maldini pays tribute to Franco Baresi: 'You protected me when I was a child, guided me as a young man, and inspired me as an adult. You were the greatest footballer I have ever had the honour of playing alongside.'
World football mourns the death of legendary Milan and Italy defender Baresi, who has died at the age of 66.
Among those paying tribute to Baresi was ex-Milan defender Maldini, a former teammate of Baresi with the Rossoneri and Italy national team.
"Hi Franco. Today I feel the same way I did whenever, for any reason, you couldn't take the field alongside us. How will we go on without you, Captain?" Maldini wrote on Instagram.
