Roberto Baggio at the microphones of Ansa wanted to send a message of condolence to Gianluca Vialli, who died at the age of 58 after a long illness: “It is always difficult to accept and understand the mystery of life. Especially when you are torn from the affection of loved ones so young and so soon. Dear Gianluca, I wish your heavenly journey to be enveloped in tranquil light for your eternal rest.”

Vialli and Baggio were teammates on the national team and at Juventus: “My deepest thoughts are with your wife, children, parents, siblings and dear friends. With your smile and cheerfulness take your beloved ball up there too. Your courage and your precious example will remain with us forever. Happy journey Gianluca.”
