“I lost my father to COVID and my wife wasn’t there. I checked her phone to confirm, something I’d never done and found messages. I couldn’t sleep anymore. I pretended nothing was wrong, but I was no longer me.”

Very sad to hear this for such a legend of the game and it’s famous how loyal he was to his club and never left AS Roma despite the Italian having plenty of offers in his playing days.
