Enrico Varriale, RAI’s sports presenter, and colleague of Rossi led the tributes, “Such terribly sad news, Paolo Rossi has left us. Unforgettable Pablito, who made all of us fall in love in that summer of 1982, and who was a precious and competent work colleague in RAI over recent years. RIP dear Paolo”.

 Paolo Rossi scored a total of 134 goals in 338 club matches, one European Cup, two Serie A titles, and one Coppa Italia.
