Time: 1994 FIFA World Cup, the United States

The 1994 World Cup was the peak as well as the low time of Baggio's career. The Italy national team went through group competition to finals under his lead. However, Brazil under the leadership of Romario de Souza Faria, ended the miracle of Italy. In the penalty kick round, Baggio kicked the football above the crossbar. The audience was filled with remorse – completely opposite from the cheering scene of Claudio André Mergen Taffarel. That moment when Baggio stood with his hands on his hips and bowed his head silently in tears became an unforgettable scene in fans' hearts.
