The Italian prime minister led tributes to the late star this morning...

The footballer's Italy team-mate Baggio said they were "brothers" saying today: "The magic nights of Italia '90 we experienced together will always remain imprinted in my heart. He added: "His desire to emerge and reach the highest levels of football has been and will continue to be a source of inspiration for the many young people who chase the dream of playing in Serie A." He was able to thrill the Azzurri fans because his football was full of passion and it was precisely this indomitable spirit that made him appreciated by everyone and will make him immortal."
