Italy great Roberto Baggio taken to hospital after attack by armed robbers while watching Euro 2024
Ireland’s Andy Townsend tackles Italy’s Roberto Baggio during their 1994 World Cup opener in Giants Stadium, New Jersey which Ireland famously won 1-0. Italy would recover from the loss and make the final against Brazil with Baggio, one of the biggest stars in the game, missing his kick in the penalty shoot-out.
Retired Italy star Roberto Baggio was robbed at gunpoint at his home while watching the national team’s game against Spain at the European Championships.
At least five armed robbers burst into Baggio’s villa near the northern city of Vicenza at around 10pm on Thursday, according to Italian media reports. One struck Baggio on the head with the butt of a gun when the former footballer confronted them.
The robbers locked the 57-year-old Baggio and his family in a room while they stole jewellery, watches and cash.
