Tributes continued to pour in this weekend from around the football world for Italia ’90 legend Totò Schillaci, including from Real Madrid and Palermo.

He passed away this week after a long battle with cancer, at a hospital in his home town of Palermo.

The local club played in Serie B today and had a moving tribute in the stands, complete with a huge banner of his Number 19 jersey from that World Cup.

There was a minute’s silence for Schillaci before every Italian football match this weekend.

Real Madrid also paid tribute with a minute’s silence ahead of their LaLiga game against RCD Espanyol.
