Per festeggiarla, la rosea ha aperto le porte a istituzioni sportive, campioni e lettori per una giornata intera dedicata al meglio dello sport e alle sue pagine indimenticabili. La mattina si è aperta con la consegna al capitano della Roma Francesco Totti del Premio Internazionale Giacinto Facchetti – Il bello del calcio, giunto alla nona edizione, istituito da La Gazzetta dello Sport per ricordare il grande capitano dell’Inter e della Nazionale, e presidente nerazzurro, scomparso il 4 settembre 2006. La giuria, composta da Gianfelice Facchetti, Andrea Monti e Giovanni Malagò, ha consegnato il premio con la seguente motivazione: “A 20 anni dal primo gol siglato nel calcio dei ‘grandi’, conserva ancora purezza e passione dei più piccoli. I colori primari abbracciano la sua carriera per intero: giallorosso, profumo di Roma; azzurro, fragranza di Italia. Per tutto ciò che ha donato da atleta sul campo, per la gioia con cui l’ha fatto, è amato e apprezzato in ogni stadio. La storia che lo vede ancora protagonista con il 10 sulle spalle ci fa credere che l’incanto del pallone non finirà mai”.
