The world of football mourns the passing of Paolo Rossi.
FIFA and the world of the football has learned today with much sadness and emotion the terrible news of the passing of Paolo Rossi at the age of 64 years. Football loses another true legend, a symbol, and another great footballer, who made the generation dream and rejoice, especially in the 1980s.
Paolo Rossi was undoubtedly the hero and the protagonist of the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, the artifice of that unforgettable adventure that brought the Italian national team, led by Enzo Bearzot, to Italy’s third World Cup triumph. Pablito, as he was called after that World Cup, was the hero of the Italians and the Azzurri fans then and still is today.
Three goals against Brazil, in the unforgettable 3-2, then the double in the semi-final against Poland and finally the first goal against West Germany in the Final in Madrid on 11 July 1982.
