Matarrese: It's time to take stock

Lega Calcio President Antonio Matarrese led the chorus of approval for the decision to halt football in Italy following the death of a police officer.

"For all of us it is a terrible moment, as we come together to cry for the death of this young agent," said Matarrese.

"Never more so than now, football must stop and take a good long look at itself. We have to reflect on what the future holds," added Matarrese.

Most clubs up and down Italy have posted messages of condolence and support on their websites for the course of action taken by the Federation.

"Massimo Moratti and all of F.C. Internazionale embrace the family, friends and colleagues of Filippo Raciti and totally share the FIGC’s decision to stop the Championship," read the Inter site.

AC Milan's website read, "All of A.C. Milan express their condolences in the most heartfelt and sincere way to the family of Chief Inspector Filippo Raciti, who died during the guerrilla warfare that broke out for the match between Catania and Palermo."
