Inter legend Zenga defends Baresi after mural vandalism: ‘Franco is untouchable’

Former Inter goalkeeper Walter Zenga has publicly condemned the vandalism of a mural dedicated to AC Milan legend Franco Baresi outside Casa Milan. The mural, created by the artist Lucas.streetart following Baresi's death on July 31 at age 66, was defaced on Sunday evening with red paint across Baresi's face, the artist's signature, and the shirt sponsor.

Zenga emphasized on Instagram that the act insults the history of Italian football rather than just Milan supporters, declaring that respect must unite the sport. Milan officials are reviewing CCTV footage to help identify the perpetrators behind the incident, which was first shared by Milan city councillor Alessandro Giungi.
