What they posted

RIP Franco Baresi, 66. Spent his entire 20-year career with @acmilan (15 of them as captain), winning six Serie A ⁠titles and three European cups, and the World Cup with Italy. A sublime footballer, and for me, the greatest all-round defender of them all. https://t.co/Z37BCjHEyG

Why it's Truth

AC Milan official Hall of Fame, UEFA.com, The Guardian, The Athletic, Transfermarkt, and Wikipedia all independently confirm exactly six Serie A titles with matching seasons listed in multiple Tier 1-2 sources.
