Gigi is referred to as the “Rombo di Tuono” (Roar of Thunder).  Riva’s coffin was covered with two jerseys: the red-blue one of Cagliari and the blue one of the Italian National team. In 2019, Gigi was named honorary president of Cagliari in recognition of his extraordinary career and contribution to soccer.

According to the Police Headquarters, about thirty thousand people attended to pay their final respects.
Fans gathered outside the Basilica of Our Lady of Bonaria in Cagliari ahead of the funeral. The Archbishop of Cagliari and secretary general of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Monsignor Giuseppe Baturi emphasized during his homily about Sardinian’s great love for Gigi and how he felt loved by his people. The connection was real because Riva’s career and life were connected to Sardinia, becoming a true idol and symbol. The President of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), Gabriele Gravina, the coach Luciano Spalletti, and the Azzurri delegation leader Gigi Buffon.   It was also an emotional moment for the children attending the football school founded by Riva in Cagliari.

In the front row was coach Claudio Ranieri, president Tommaso Giulini and then the whole team. Present in the church were many soccer VIPs such as Coni president Giovanni Malagò, Gianfranco Zola, Gianluigi Buffon, and with him a delegation from Italy’s 2006 world champion including Fabio Cannavaro. Also at the church were Cagliari Mayor Paolo Truzzu and Minister of Sport Abodi.

👉   The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed Gigi Riva has died after heart attack on Monday 22 January 2024 at the age of 79. Gigi, referred as the “Rombo di Tuono” (Roar of Thunder), is considered as one of the greatest Italian legends and forwards of all time. Gigi was born on 7 November 1944 in Leggiuno, Italy. Riva, with 35 goals, is the all-time leading goalscorer for the Italian National team with 42 appearances. In remembrance, a minute’s silence will be held before every league game from tomorrow until the end of the week.

Gigi Riva is also a Cagliari legend, he made 315 appearances and won one Scudetto with Cagliari in 1969/70, the only one in the Rossoblu history. Gigi was the first player from Cagliari to receive a call-up to the Italy squad with whom he made his debut at 20 years old. Gigi is still top scorer in Cagliari’s history, with a total of 164 goals.

In his international career with the Italian national team, Riva was part of the team that won the 1968 European Championship in Rome scoring a crucial goal in the final against Yugoslavia. In 1970, Riva was vice-world champion in Mexico.

Gigi was placed 74º in the list of the best footballers of the 20th century compiled by World Soccer magazine. Gigi took the role of Accompanying Director of the National team in the 90s, before being the Team Manager. In sum, Gigi participated in 6 World Cups including the 2006 win and 5 Euros, becoming a fundamental part of the dressing room and an important cornerstone for many players. In 2011, he became part of the ‘Italian Football Hall of Fame’.

FIGC President, Gabriele Gravina, spoke: “I am shaken and grieved, Italian football is in mourning because a true national icon has left us. Gigi Riva embodied the idea of a free man and extraordinary footballer: his pride, his class, and his sense of justice united generations and roused the passion of millions of people. ‘Roar of Thunder’, his extraordinary career as an athlete and then staff member is interwoven with the Azzurri, thanks to him we won the 1968 Euros and the 2006 World Cup. Those who had, like me, the fortune to know him, have lost a friend and an icon today”.

Gianluigi ‘Gigi’ Buffon said goodbye to Riva with a post on his social media profiles: “You were one of the best players in Italy and a giant off the pitch. You offered me guidance and were a cornerstone for me in the Azzurri. We shared difficult moments, defeats, and the most beautiful victory. Keep up the advice from up there. Goodbye, Roar of Thunder!”.

Frosinone overturned the result and won the Serie A Week 21 at the Benito Stirpe Stadium in Frosinone, Italy. A well-deserved turnaround for Frosinone, which rises to 22 points and is back to breathing a bit after being entangled in the fight for salvation. Cagliari, however, continues to fail to find success away from home, suffering their eighth knockout. in 11 matches played outside Sardinia.

Cagliari was unbeaten against Frosinone in Serie A in the three previous matches (two wins, one draw) and, in the first leg, the rossoblù became the first team in the history of Serie A capable of winning a match with a three-goal deficit in the 70th minute, going from 1-3 to the final 4-3 with Leonardo Pavoletti’s decisive brace in full injury time (94′ and 96′)

In the next round, Frosinone will visit Hellas Verona for another direct clash with a view to survival. Cagliari will host Torino.

Cagliari opened the score in the 27th minute.

Frosinone equalized in the 64th minute. Luca Mazzitelli defeated Cagliari goalkeeper with a headed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Abdou Harroui following a corner conceded by Gabriele Zappa.

Frosinone overturning the result and took the lead in the 76th minute. Matías Soulé scored with a left-footed free kick shot to the top right corner.

Cagliari succumbed. Frosinone sealed the victory in the 95th minute. Kaio Jorge scored from very close range with a left footed shot.

In the first leg match last October 29th against Frosinone, Cagliari became the first team in the history of Serie A capable of winning a match with a three-goal deficit in the 70th minute of play (final score 4-3). Frosinone have lost their last five league matches, conceding 15 goals in the period – only once in Serie A have the Ciociari recorded more defeats in a row: six between September and October 2018, in a period in which they conceded 17 goals with Moreno Longo driving.
In the three matches of this championship between two newly promoted teams, the host team has always won, after in the previous 13 matches the home team had only achieved success once. Two of Cagliari’s four victories in the 2023/24 Serie A came against newly promoted teams. Cagliari have remained unbeaten in their last three league matches (W1, D2), the Sardinians have not recorded a longer streak without defeat in Serie A since the period between January and February 2022 (five in that case).
