Many footballers have paid their respects through their websites and Twitters, and have sent their support to Cristina Fernandez, Kirchner's wife and current president of Argentina.
Leo Messi: "Lionel Messi and family, along with the Leo Messi Foundation wish to express their deep sorrow at the death of Dr. Nestor Kirchner, and accompany President Cristina Fernández and her entire family in their pain with sincere affection and solidarity."
Kun Agüero: "I've just heard about the death of ex president Kirchner. Sad news. My condolences to president Cristina and her family".
Meanwhile, it was reported that Diego Maradona would be flying to El Calafate to pay his respects to the family. No news channel has confirmed this, though.
This is Olé's cover for today (Olé is the biggest sports newspaper in Argentina). Kirchner was a big Racing fan.
He even gave Lula a jersey, lol.
Néstor, Maradona and Cristina.
People flooded Plaza de Mayo yesterday...
I'm not a kirchnerista, and I'm not a peronista either, but I am able to recognize the good things Kirchner has done for the country, along with his mistakes. Let's be respectful, please. ¡Fuerza Cristina!
Sources: Olé, Clarín, my tv, etc.
ETA: Maradona has just gotten there. He's standing next to Cristina.
And there are really good pics here, if anyone is interested.
