🗣️ Paolo Maldini on Instagram: Hello Franco,
Today I feel the same feeling when, for whatever reason, you couldn't go on the field next to us: what will we do without our Captain?
You taught me to fight until my last breath, what does sticking to the shirt mean and the value of being a true leader. You did it by example, every day: few words, but lots of facts.
You protected me as a child, guided me as a boy and inspired me as a man. You were the strongest football player I have ever had the honor to play with.
A loving hug to your whole family, especially to your wife Maura and your children, Eduardo and Giannandrea.
We'll miss you, Captain. But the light of your star will continue to shine on us forever. ❤️🖤
