🕊️ An eternal goodbye: Argentine football mourns Indio Solari | OneFootball

Without a doubt, today is a day of mourning for the Argentine people, who bid farewell to Carlos Alberto "Indio" Solari, one of the greatest popular poets music has ever had. An icon and leader of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota and of his band Los Fundamentalistas del Aire Acondicionado, he transcended his own sphere, and football was one of the places he enjoyed the most.

His passion for Boca reached such a level that, even while already suffering from Parkinson’s, he took it upon himself to write a poem for Juan Román Riquelme. 

At the same time, he was also one of Lionel Messi’s great defenders in the face of criticism (even mocking the terms used by those critics).

And once the World Cup had been won, he said he went wild over La Scaloneta’s triumph, describing it as an incomparable team.

"It has had an epic and heroic magnitude, achieved by a group of people who drew strength from their very depths, where their key lay: if there is no emotion, nothing happens."

And if we talk about his relationship with football, we cannot forget his great bond with Diego Armando Maradona, who described him as untouchable and brave.

Rest in peace, Indio!
