A tribute to Milan's legendary captain has been vandalised, sparking outrage across Italian football.

What happened. A mural of Milan and Italy legend Franco Baresi outside Casa Milan was vandalised on Sunday, with red paint sprayed across his face. Milan are seeking those responsible and hope CCTV cameras in the area will identify them.

• Red paint also covered the shirt sponsor, the artist's signature and the words 'You'll never walk alone'.
• Milan city councillor Alessandro Giungi shared the image on social media and expressed outrage.
• The mural was created after Baresi passed away in July at the age of 66.

“Un gesto vergognoso ed incommentabile.”
