Franco Baresi, a prominent Italian footballer and former player for Milan, passed away two days ago. His passing coincided with a period when the Pope was reportedly unwell, leading to his absence from a scheduled meeting with the Milan team, the club where Baresi spent his entire professional career. Due to scheduling conflicts, the club was unable to arrange attendance at the funeral service on Tuesday.
The primary reason cited was Milan’s preparation for an extended trip to Australia. The geographical distance to Australia presents a significant logistical challenge for attendees. Furthermore, the duration of the summer in Australia, noted to be at least 22 hours, complicates travel arrangements at this time.
The club reportedly attempted to organize a return visit for members, but these efforts were unsuccessful. Italian media reports suggest that the club harbors concerns regarding the level of attendance at the funeral. Despite these logistical hurdles, the connection between Baresi’s legacy and the club remains central.
Efforts were made to ensure that Milan could properly pay respects, though the logistics meant that many were unable to attend the service.
