Giacinto Facchetti was born on 18 July 77 years ago, always an Interista


MILAN - A role model. A champion on the pitch and unique figure off it. To best describe him, you need to take what his opponents had to say about him. He was: “A model of sportsmanship.”

For his teammates he was a “incredible person’, a “loyal friend” and the “gentle giant.”

Humility, sacrifice and a great sense of belonging. The link between Giacinto Facchetti and Inter is an infinite one.

He was born in Treviglio on 18 July 1942. Today, the ‘Cipe’ would have turned 77. The example he set and his memory remain alive in the memory of every Interista and football fan.
