Short answers, pulled from the story.
Franco Baresi won six Serie A titles, three European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles, four Supercoppa Italiana, two Intercontinental Cups, two European Super Cups, two Serie B titles, and a Mitropa Cup with AC Milan across his 20-year career.
AC Milan retired Baresi's number 6 shirt after his final season in 1996-97 as a permanent tribute to his 20-year service and captaincy of the club. He had worn the number throughout his career and captained the side for 15 seasons.
Baresi, suffering from severe cramps and fatigue, missed the first penalty for Italy in the shootout against Brazil after a 0-0 draw. Following further misses by Daniele Massaro and Roberto Baggio, Brazil won the trophy.
Baresi earned the nickname "Kaiser Franz" as a reference to West Germany's Franz Beckenbauer, who played the same sweeper position. The comparison reflected the similar elegance and authority both players brought to the libero role.
Baresi earned 81 caps for Italy. He scored one international goal, in a friendly win against the Soviet Union on the 20th of February 1988 in Bari.
Baresi was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame in 2013. He had previously been named one of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers by Pele at the FIFA centenary awards ceremony in 2004.
