The Italian Football Association has decided to pay tribute to Paolo Rossi. Since Tuesday, the former Italian international who died in 2020 will give his name to the Serie A top scorer trophy.
Finishing top scorer in Serie A last season with 29 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo made sure to win the league’s top scorer award. What he didn’t know was that he was going to pay homage to an Italian legend.
Indeed, CR7 will be the first to win the prize for the best Serie A gunners, named since Tuesday “Paolo Rossi”. The former player, who died in 2020, was notably world champion with Italy in 1982 and won the top scorer award in this competition with 6 goals.
