“Cuore infranto in italiano: Roberto Baggio affronta un’uscita inaspettata”…
Roberto Baggio (born February 18, 1967, in Caldogno, Italy) is a legendary Italian footballer, regarded as one of the greatest forwards in the country’s rich football history. He was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 1993 and is also widely remembered for missing the decisive penalty in the 1994 World Cup final, which secured Brazil’s victory.
Baggio began his professional career in 1982 with lower-division side Vicenza before moving to Fiorentina in 1985, where he rose to stardom in Serie A. His signature ponytail became iconic across Italy. In 1990, he transferred to Juventus for a record-breaking fee, sparking riots in Florence. When facing his former club for the first time, Baggio refused to take a penalty kick, an act that endeared him to Fiorentina fans but upset Juventus supporters. Over time, he won over Juve’s fanbase by leading the team to a UEFA Cup triumph in 1993 and securing the Serie A title in 1995.
