Barcelona and Spain legend, Luis Suárez Miramontes, has passed away age of 88. The former Inter Milan midfielder is regarded as one of the greatest Spanish footballers of all-time.
He is also the only Spanish male Ballon d’Or winner.
Inter Milan mourned their former star and manager in a statement released via the club website on Sunday morning.
The statement partly read: “Saying goodbye to Luisito leaves us with a deep melancholy: the nostalgia of his perfect and inimitable football, which in fact inspired generations, joins the memory of a unique footballer and a great, great Inter player.”
FC Barcelona also mourned the legend in a tweet.
Barca wrote, “Football legend. Barça legend.
