Baggio reveals penalty pain

By Football Italia staff

Italy icon Roberto Baggio has revealed that ‘I still don’t sleep well’ at night due to his missed penalty in the 1994 World Cup Final.

Italy finished runners-up in the US as Baggio blazed over a decisive spot-kick, handing the title of world champions to Brazil.

“I still don’t sleep well because of my mistake from the spot against Brazil,” ‘Il Divino Codino’ told Sky Sport Italia.

“It’s an unpleasant situation, which can serve as a lesson. I’d always dreamt of playing a World Cup Final against Brazil and making up for the one lost in 1970.

“However, dreaming is one thing and reality is another. I’d always dreamt of a different Final.”
