  "summary": "Sandro Mazzola, a former Inter Milan and Italy forward, has died at the age of 83. According to Inter Milan, Mazzola, a European Cup and Serie A winner, passed away recently.\n\nMazzola is widely regarded as one of Italy's best players of all time. He won two consecutive European Cups with Inter between 1963 and 1965. In the 1963-64 season, he scored seven goals in the competition, including a brace in a 3-1 win in the Final against Real Madrid.\n\nThe Italian football community has paid tribute to Mazzola. A minute's silence will be observed before each game across Italy's professional leagues. Inter will wear a black armband in their away game at Roma.
