Gigi Riva's funeral home is a coming and going of characters who have written the rossoblù history.

Among these, the historic captain Daniele Conti, a Sardinian by adoption like Riva, could not be missing. Moral heir of Rombo di Tuono, Conti boasted 434 appearances and 47 goals in Cagliari. The rossoblù fans included him in the top 11 of the best players who wore that shirt.

"Rest in peace myth", he wrote on social media, posting a photo of a kiss with Gigi Riva .

This morning, with a crown of flowers, he went to the Domus for the funeral home.

Behind Conti, who was at Cagliari for 23 years between the pitch and management, there is Andrea Cossu : also a historic rossoblù player, today he is in the management of Cagliari Calcio. On social media, after Riva's death, he wrote a short but significant message: "The king of Cagliari".
