Today a legend passes away. It had the name of the great kings of France, the surname of those born on water.
Gigi Riva one of the greatest footballers of all time. One who had linked his name to a city Cagliari, and to the people of Sardinia. On the island he won the historic championship in 1970. Every year he had offers worth billions to move elsewhere, in the name of the rossoblù colors he never succumbed to the lure of the solid, becoming the symbol of a romantic football that no longer exists.
A flag, someone who chose to play for his entire career with the red and blue colors printed on his heart.
An indelible icon of Italian football. An immortal capable of scoring 35 goals in 42 appearances with the Italian national team, of which he was team manager in 2006 when Cannavaro raised the world champions cup to the sky.
Hello Thunderclap. From today the sky will never be the same again.
