The Gazzetta gave him a 7, man of the match, and noted that "for his career he deserves a 10". The Milan first team came out all wearing Costacurta shirts to toss him in the air at the end. When you've played for the same club for 27 years, you deserve no less.
But there is a story in this morning's Gazzetta that makes me think even more of the guy. Rather than a star-studded "farewell" match, he has invited 30 of his friends to play at San Siro on Friday night: his butcher, his baker, the guys he has bought gas and newspapers from for 20 years, his tax accountant, etc. Legendary.
