13:30 and 13:34 = Baggio showing a young Zidane some real magic ;) Soon 27 k subscribers! Thank you very much my friends. I did not think my channel would be so popular 10 months ago when I started TH-cam on a continuous basis. And it makes me happy that so many people like and appreciate the older football generation as much as I do. I will continue to try to make videos to your wishes even though I do not have much time on the days to edit when I work full time. I would appreciate if you want to continue spreading my clips and my channel so it's getting bigger, so maybe I'll have time to make even more videos in the future :D /Matigolvidz
Man I know I m gonna get a lot of hate but baggio was technically better than Zidane it's just bcoz he missed that penalty he is not seen in the same light like the other legends ...and plz do keep making videos u r a gr8 video compiler
The talent of Maradona, the elegance of Zidane, the goal instinct of van Basten and a very humble personnality. My favorite player. My father took me to Juve training to see him when i was a child. The best european player ever. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Most underrated player of all time. He won the Balon d'Or, but people always seem to forget Baggio. People always talk about Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi. But only people who actually saw Baggio play know how much magic he had in his feet. How much emotion every move Baggio made spurred in an entire nation and many people around the world. There are many talented players, but very very few players who just have this magic aura about them. Baggio was one of them. I miss him so much.
Because people don t Know him. They Just Remember he Is that One Who failed the penalty... Elegant, clean in every move, Roberto Baggio was poetry. The best italian ever, and certainly in the top ten of all time in the world
I'm from Italy and whenever in a conversation the name Baggio comes up, everybody sighs with nostalgia, like when you think of Christmas when you were a kid. He will always be Italy's favourite son when it comes to football.
Here in Italy there is a song that says: "since Baggio has stopped playing, it's not Sunday anymore". And well guys that's it, for year, every Sunday, every time he took the ball was pure emotion, like no one else has ever done again.
Whats the name of the song? I admire this legend.. cried like a..when he left Inter in his last match against parma. Ofcourse Marcelo lippi was the manager, who else?
@@haranbanjo8024 I dont know about senna, but Baggio is a Angel playing fotboll, sent from heaven in my eays. Specially in his later years in Inter and Brescia, with that ponnytail.. just love him. They made a movie about him..,it goes in Netflix.
When Guardiola presented Baggio to Messi he said that this guy with one knee was the best player that he ever seen during his time as a proffesional footballer. Baggio was a beast. Those who makes football look so easy deserves to be ranked as legends of this game and Baggio was one of them.
Of course he was introducing Baggio to Guardiola, so he wanted to be kind with Roby. But he played with R9 in Barca, in a season when the brazilian was something never seen before for a teenager (maybe only Pelé was so good at that age).
As proud English man I am more than happy to say Roberto Baggio is one of the finest football players I've ever seen. Football of the last 10 years cannot be compared to before 2000. Baggio was playing at this level at a time when opposition were still putting the boot into him if he played today where tackling is none existent he would be untouchable. The goal against the Czech Republic at Italia 90 is one of my favourite goals of all time. He was pure class .
Liverpool supporter here. Grew up watching Roberto Baggio in my teens. He was a phenomenon and of the very highest echelon of footballers. Deserves to be mentioned in the conversation of greatest footballer of all time. Yes he was that good.
I was a bit surprised to hear my dad mentioning his name alongside Maradona, Cryuff,and Messi as the best footballers he has ever seen. I can see why now.
Baggio is better than Cruyff and Messi. The only reason why he isn't in the conversation is because he never won major trophies and that missed penalty. The only possibly better than Baggio was Maradona.
It should always be remembered that, unlike all the players mentioned above, he was hit by numerous injuries, some of which were serious. Otherwise, he would have achieved a lot more as a footballer.
Baggio should be remember not only for his unique gift on the field, but for his soul too and for his behaviour: NEVER an uncorrect thing, never a riot, and a very sensible soul in a very hard world that limited him in his career choices, but gave him a special place in the heart of football lovers.
The constant and serious injuries unfortunately shortened his peak, but even so overall Baggio was one of the most extraordinary players of all time. Immeasurable talent, impressive intelligence and speed of thought, spectacular technique, unpredictable moves. And if we talk specifically about prime Baggio, he was just from another world. Master, genius!
The "serie A" of the eighties: Maradona, Zico, Platini, Falcao, Careca, Gullit, Rummenigge ... (and so on) ... and a young Baggio, the cherry on the cake.
@@faraazkhan90 owh yea . Those you can mention this player means you really know football well. Not like those born 20 yrs ago n talking about the few now .
Imagine a player that made his career with one knee... and in the end without both and still being better than most of the world players. He is considered one of the best ever if not the best, with 1 knee completely destroyed when he was only 18. Imagine without injuries he would have been the best player that football had ever seen, hands down. Rest of the players after injuries never been the same or they just quit. He built a legacy after that serious injury!
Yes!! Another Magic Baggio video! This man is the most underrated player ever just from the penalty he missed he didnt got the recognition he deserved. Imagine if he would have won the world cup peoples would have known just like they know Maradona. But even without the world cup he is top 5 player of all time for me. If anyone truly knows this legend would agree with me this man was an alien so elegant he had everything!
Football not sooccer and had reconstructed knees .... incredible hes passing players like he never had injuries... with Maradona ( and Diego agrees 100%) best player ever!!!!
My first world cup I remember seeing was usa 94 and he was the star of it.Always one of my favourite players since then.Really wish he had won that world cup because he deserved it.
yep, in reality he came so close to winning 3 world cups!Imagine that...woudlve been the best player ever, easily :) 1990- in Italy, they came 3rd, when could have/should have won at home. 1994- final, only lost on penalties 1998- he just missed the golden goal with a superb volley in the quarter final vs France. Had they wont that, then Italy wouldve beaten Ccroatia in the semi and then Brazil in the final 3 WORLD CUPS! :)
My biggest football icon of all time. The man was amazing. Just one of the most humbled footballers. Who just loved to playing the game. And entertain everyone. Am 37 now and a fell blessed just for getting to see this great man on TV
One of the most complete players ever,he was fast,could dribble,very creative,brilliant passing and vision,excellent frre kick taker,could score bicycles and headers,the best italian footballer of all time!
Does not invent, does not travel man, Totti was consistent where? Baggio is marked as one of the stars who won few titles if he doubted Totti won well less title yet out that he was never relevant in the nazionale like Baggio, stop talking shit Totti + Del Piero + Pirlo = maximum half Roberto Baggio.
Baggio was surely a better dribbler but Totti was insanely strong physically for being a nr.10. They both had insane vision and passing skills. Baggio won more probably because he had better teams. About consistency Baggio never won the golden foot but won the ballon d'or... They can't be compared too much because Baggio played in the golden era of football when skill mattered, Totti played great part of his carreer in the modern shitty physical football. I remember France 98 when Del Piero played but should have been left at home... Roby Baggio should have played with a young Totti as his sobstitute. They could have taken Italy a long way.... For me Totti could have been so much more if he had been in a top club and Baggio could have been in the top 5 of all times if he didn't suffer so many injuries... Tears comes to my eyes thinking of them playing...
Football fans like to fantasize about an uninjured Ronaldo(R9), what might have been....(and rightfully so). But I like to think what Baggio might have become. That dude was even more seriously injured than R9 before he even started in Serie A. There was literally never a game where he was fully fit, without pain...in what was (un)arguably the best defended league ever (both in skill and toughness, that was Serie A in the early 90's )...and yet he was able to produce so much magic. Imagine- a uninjured, fully fit Baggio with all his skills, technique, ball control, close control, free kicks, corner kicks, dribblings,.... in a today's top team, with better protection from referees, in a position/role of his liking ....easily top 10 of all time. The fact that he is mostly remembered for this one missed penalty(if he is remembered at all) makes me grind my teeth in frustration🤬 Great video btw 👍
that's why Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will never be the best players of all time, players like Maradona, Baggio, Ronaldo, Van Basten (and a couple of other players), in their conditions would have scored thousands of goals
@@andreacali4050 imagine what the league would’ve been like if none of them got serious injuries. Add totti to that too. Penaldo and Missy would’ve been destroyed.
@@hamidonothman4654 Yes, not only that...he also had the habit to dribble around the keeper before scoring. He is also the only player(at least to my knowledge) in Serie A(in the 80's early 90's) who dribbled past two or more defenders on a regular basis(more often than Maradona at Napoli...or Ronaldo in the late 90's IIRC)...which is no mean feat considering his rather frail physical condition.
Non c'è bandiera che tenga, vedere Baggio era ed è pura poesia calcistica, qualsiasi maglia vesta. Così non ce ne sono più e forse non ce ne saranno più. Roberto sei stato unico e rimarrai nella leggenda.
Sono dell 82 e sono nato lo stesso giorno del Di in codino Il rimpianto più grande.... Estate 97 baggio prima di passare al Bologna aveva accettato un contratto con il Napoli, l'allora mister della squadra tale zeman disse "non ci serve è un giocatore finito" a fine stagione Baggio capocannoniere Napoli retrocesso in serie B
I am Italian and I am a grown man now but I will admit, I saw his last game...and I cried when he left the pitch for the last time!!! Grazie Don Roberto🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹
I'm English and I nearly cried when he missed his penalty at WC 1994. It was that bad even for me so I can't imagine what it must have been like for Italians. Baggio was loved by everyone of every nation, he was a player so gifted he literally made the sport of football itself better because he was part of it. It was the same when Bergkamp was playing for Arsenal, he just made our league better simply because you got to see him play. These players are special and you can count on one hand how many of them there have ever been!
Best italian football player ever...and without a knee! At 18 years, he destroyed the right knee it took 220 stitches to put it back together. 18 years old...a career played on one knee only
and another knee in 2002, but the italy don't take for the mondial korea japan, but he not injury, i'm italian know roberto, Trapattoni don't take for the mondial becouse figc italian calcio(football) someone don't like baggio, mostly dichiaration on lippi, (lippi uomo di merda!)
Giocatore R, Baggio che ha giocato con Fiorentina, Juventus, Milan, Bologna, Inter, Brescia non regge il confronto Messi che ha giocato solo in una grosso club.
For me he was without doubt the greatest Italian footballer ever. Right up there with the best the game has ever seen. He was poetry in motion. Baggio had everything.
The master of technique. Free kicks, full range of shooting and passing with either foot, dribbling, and that sublime first touch. Vision and creativity, and deadly finishing ability. Combined with superb agility and the ability to run with the ball so close to his feet on those muddy pitches, with intense tackles flying in. There is an elegance and effortlessness that Baggio had that felt truly unique. One of my favorite players to watch growing up..Along with Michael Laudrup, and of course Maradona..
When you reach such a level where victory doesn't matter that much anymore, and instead you're judge just on the quality of the football you play, that's when, in between the stars, you become a sun in the space that football is.
I’ve never seen a Italian player quite like Baggio. He was skilled, could dribble and was very elegant. It was wonderful watching him beat defenders and score free kicks, it didn’t seem like he needed any effort.
When players were real footballers unlike the present movie stars .. thank you for letting some of us realize that football is not just about Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo :)
Lol what do you mean by "real footballers" players these days are way more fitter and more disciplined about how they approach the game. In Baggio's era players would regularly smoke and drink, sometimes even at half time.
@@najibchevalier4727 do u think they dont drink and party these days?they do but what he meant that footballers back then was much better then players play today's because the wasn't so much protected like the are now and defender's were very brutal I u have to be at top level to pass them but now they touched you and is foul so is much easier to play for strikers these days then back in golden era's of football and taht way is called golden era's but now is only messi and cr7 and back the u have many palyers so good like messi and cr7 and even better.
@@najibchevalier4727 In the late 80s and perhaps very early 90s, boozing etc. was a part of English football, but not at half time :) (I don't know if you are knowingly exaggerating or have been told some tall stories, but I don't think any footballers routinely drank at half time in the history of the game. I would be surprised if any had smoked at HT either, though that would be just about plausible back in the 50s and earlier) In Italian football, things were far more disciplined (apart from anything else they've never had our boozy pub culture), you could not get away with that sort of behaviour and Baggio seems to have been a very clean living man in any case. But Italy, and according to English players of the time other countries such as France and Spain, did not condone such behaviour at all, and English players going abroad found the fitness and general control over their daily regime more stringent.
@@najibchevalier4727 wtf you think in that era players werent proffesionals? Now its more publicity the trainings (instagram, etc) and the diet, but still a lot of current players arent that professionals, the training methods may be better but you take messi and c.ronaldo as the common, and you have balotelli, neymar, wilsheres, even vardy who has bragged about his "unorthodox" diet for name some examples, players nowadays not only drink/smokes and party like the old ones, they have social medias and wayy more distractions with commercials and other shits
@@najibchevalier4727 You lost, really. Smoking and drinking? Baggio is not from 1910. Then at Baggio time the protection rules for strikes were not in use, at that time defenders were tuff, easy today dribbling defenders who can't touch you. Playing over 30 was a dream for strikers, Baggio get 7 knees operation. Imagine Messi and Ronaldo magically they find themselves in the 90's and Rumenigge walking to them to say: I will send you out in stretchers, after 5 minute and few tackles both will ask to go out that arena. Messi and Ronaldo are two of the best players in their generation or post 2000 new soccer rules to allow strikers to shine. But compared to many of the past including Baggio they can just shine his shoes.
His pony tail makes me want to cry only kidding it made him stand out.....it's because despite of his injuries he entertained football fans around the world......
Because it's a time lost. Nostalgia of the 90s... & Honesty also think the music like triggers it just as much as the old film... the beat is simple but powerful. I dunno. Ha Tried my best to answer. ;)
@@codyferrell1896 you’re sweet. The music, damnit!!! Always gets me. I hate when I’m watching something that’s already sad on it’s own but then there’s music in background that just mashes that sadness all up in my face. Rude!!!!
This man is known everywhere in the world... It says it all! Even In Pakistan the would use to talk about him. Forza Roberto Baggio sei stato il migliore
Baggio for me is the best Italian player of all time, the Messi/Ronaldo of his generation. I don't think the movie did his brilliance justice but videos like this do. Fan from England.
@@giuliom3564 yes, and also his dribbling was almost equal to messi..but messi and ronaldo were more consistant.. That's why i said he couldn't be on same level with messi and cr7
@@muhammedalthaf2145 Consistency and skill are two different things, we compare each player with another by what they present during their peak, because sometimes injuries are simply unfair for their careers. Messi is consistent in Barcelona, his form suddenly dropped at PSG and its still barely acceptable. Even Cristiano stopped being the monster he was as a goalscorer. Players like Ronaldo Nazario, Roberto Baggio and Johan Cruyff are much more well-rounded than Messi and Cristiano. Ronaldo has finshing, dribble speed and technique, headers, instant reaction, speed, acceleration, two-footed. Baggio is very similar. Messi simply doesn’t produce the stuff they did (even WITH their career ending injuries). Messi had no major injuries, that’s why he was consistent for 14 years. Cristiano had more serious injuries, and held his form for 15-16 years. But that doesn’t tell which player was better at their peak.
He was unbelievable, unbeatable, unmarkable, unbreakable and by all means, unmatched. What a baller. Whenever he had the ball, he was a threat, whenever he was in the box he was a threat, whenever he stood over the ball for a set piece he was a threat. Just class, elegance and pure magnificence.
Before the age of social media, this player had it all. Thing is he was never self promoting, always humble which is qhy in many days he's forgotten. But forgotten superstars stand the test of time
In the era of social media and stats, the GOAT conversation always digresses into titles won, ballon d'or won etc. Who cares. When Baggio was around the game was so much harder, heavy pitches, aggressive tackling, and he just ploughed through all that like an incredibly elegant warrior. I dare say as far as technique he was among the greatest with Maradona and Ronaldinho. I don't like comparisons, all I know is his football stirs emotions that only Maradona does for me.
Baggio....Love from Bangladesh....Can't forget '90s and '94s World Cup...Still I am watching those games...He is the BOSS.....only for Baggio i fought with my friends that who is the best...hahahaha...
The fact that this man had a career ending injury at 18 years old and still became one of the best ever, being the 3rd best then behind Maradona and Pele (before Messi and Ronaldo era) and the best italian player of all time just makes you think how much greater he could have been if it were not for that injury.
Come on... Before his injury he was playing in the third Italian league (serie C1) scoring 13 goals in 35 matches. At the same age Pelé scored 6 goals in 3 games in a world cup and R9 34/34 in the first Brazilian league. Maradona was on the verge of being part of the Argentinian team in WC 78.
The most incredible thing about Baggio (net of all his other immense qualities) and compared to many other champions, is that when he threw the ball into the goal, at 99.9% he scored, he had a precision out of the human world.
Fabrizio Ravanelli, in Juventus with him (1993-95) said that in addition to having a superfine technique, he also had a precision and a nastiness under the net that made him score many goals like a true N9 striker, legendary!!
Man Utd fan from England here. I feel privileged to have grown up in an era of football where I could watch Roberto Baggio in his prime. A magnificent footballer, truly a great of the game who few players past and present can hold a candle to. Thank you for the memories Roberto.
George Best, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Cruyff... they were legends but this guy Baggio was even better than any of them - but you tend to never see anyone saying it. The footage doesn't lie! This guy is the best I have ever seen and the most naturally talented. I don't judge players by how many trophies they won, I judge the player! Baggio was injured all the time, but even so there's enough footage of him to see, he was the best ever.
I miss him sooo much. Football is not the same with Roberto Baggio !! Never will. I will never have the same emotions he gave me. Ti vogliamo tanto bene Divin Codino !!!
From Japan, my father used to talk to me about Baggio after I met this beautiful sport. Now I'm having a baby boy, am ready to show him this video if he gets interested in football. The beauty, the joy to watch. Fantasista.
7 operaciones de rodilla le quitaron velocidad. Pero la clase, hasta el último día estaba intacta. No me hablen de Totti ni de Del Piero. Roberto Baggio es otro nivel.
My favourite all time player, what a talent, his balance was sublime and his finishing as good as anyone that’s ever graced the field. Truly divine !!!
Simply the best player period. Look at ball control, aerial ball control, dribbling past 4 players, long range goals, kicking balls in mid air into the net - PURE FLUID POETIC EFFORTLESS MASTERY - on another higher level than Maradona, Pele, Messi, Mbappé, Ronaldo etc....
Dribblling at its best ,vision at its best ,speed at its best ,smartness at its best ....one of the best free kick taker of all time ...all the qualities for being GOAT...for me he is on the same league as MESSI What a legend ROBERTO BAGGIO was ..just genius his play was like an extraordinary piece of art ..
Mr Cricket maybe Messi is in the league of Baggio ... only because Baggio played without knee ... if he had been healthy he would have been very very close to Maradona ... but Maradona is God !!!!!
This is fabulous thank you for this Baggio is such a superior player I always said “the football met it’s perfect dance partner with Baggio” his foot work is that of a finely tuned tap dancer the rhythm he had was beautiful perfection❤️
All time great, he joined Brescia at 33 played till 37, scoring 45 goals in 95 games. Proved his brains is his most lethal skill set. The way he slices the ball with the inside of his boot when he places a ball goal wards is unrivaled.
Grande Croazia, per noi avete vinto il Mondiale !!!! Ci avete fatto divertire veramente e visto che l'Italia non c'era il nostro tifo era tutto per voi. ;)
@@GianiGighen grazie mille giani, but I really don't speak italian so well, of course I got the translator though, so thanks again and ci vediamo in mare, fiduciosamente, rimanere in buona salute e felice anno nuovo. Take care buddy
@@MrAl100 - Questa è la differanza...il campione vince col supporto della squadra. Il fuoriclasse, gli dai palla e ci pensa lui. Messi e Baggio in questo erano simili. Poi non parliamo di doping...su Baggio possiamo mettere la mano nel fuoco, su altri non so...compreso Messi. Mourinho lo disse sul Barcellona e non l'hanno denunciato...forse perché aveva ragione?
Pa To Io penso che solo Maradona in Argentina è stato così perché messi ha dimostrato con i fatti di fallire nei momenti in cui il Fuoriclasse vero deve vincere da solo... Pur avendo una nazionale come la sua. Quello appunto che secondo me non fa iscrivere tra i più grandi Lionel Messi è proprio il fatto che è mancato lì dove gli altri hanno saputo veramente fare la differenza. Poi il dubbio sorge pure da un Barca fra i più forti di sempre, oltre a lui. Per ciò concludo che cmq a mio parere quel 1986 scrisse chiaramente che: il pibe non lo batte nessuno. Con e senza le sue manchevolezze... Ma Maradona resta inarrivabile.
Back in the days where there is no media like nowadays , that's the main reason we didn't hear about him thatmuch , after watching this video i admitdly realised why he is the best Italian player of all time , i rate him with Zizou and Mardona .
Best italian player ever. One of the best in the whole world, but i don't know if abroad, out of Italy, people, young people, do know about him and his incredible skills. Fantasy and precision in dribbling, passing and shooting. No ordinary dribbling, no ordinary shoot. When everyone in front of the gol would shoot low and score, he shoot high with effect and score the same. Incredible! I would like that Messi and Ronaldo talk about him.
Baggio, I didn't know that He was so good, than for me, He was the Italian Maradona. God!! This guy was amazing, good control with the ball, dribbling, a striker, what else you can ask to a player to be an soccer star. Wow!! Maldini, the best defender of the world.
He is an absolute Magician in the pitch , beautiful football at its finest, truly impressive, this is how the number 10 in football should look like ,mastering the game with ease, a huge respect from Algeria to the best Italian player of all time 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇩🇿🇩🇿🙏🙏🙏
I think it was right for him to win 2 ballon d'ors! He actually arrived 2nd in 1994, Stoichkov won it...Baggio led italy almost single handedly to the final...smh
@@hueyfreeman1983 i would disagree with that frankly. i'm bulgarian and stoichkov's role is a tad overinflated. i'll grant you he scored when necessary but to say he carried the team is a little much. it was not like argentina and maradona. without maradona they could not beat anybody. i would say without stoichkov bulgaria was still a force to be reckoned with at the time with the likes of Balakov, Lechkov, Sirakov - all brilliant players. note the 2nd goal against germany was scored by Lechkov with an assist by Yankov. Stoitchkov didn't figure anywhere in there. interesting to note that stoichkov's presence on the pitch was hardly noticeable until after '93 and the crucial 2nd leg away match with france where kostadinov scored in the last second of the 90th minute to eliminate france. i'd say stoichkov got the award mostly because of barcelona not the world cup showing. also i'm bulgarian - but credit where credit is due and baggio outshined stoitchkov where it mattered and that is the semifinal :)
Enrico Rossi Baggio could hv won it if he scored that penalty n crowned WC champion! Too bad the best player liked Maldini, Cruyff, Platini n Messi etc didn’t always win the WC
Absolutely! To be fair his goalscoring record was exceptional given that he often played quite deep, not to mention that when he played, Italy had probably the best defenders and defenses the game has ever seen. He's easily an all time great, but just imagine what he would have done if he didn't destroy his knee when he was 18?
BAGGIO is the Greatest Footballer in History going by this footage. I've never seen anything like it before or since. 18 & half minutes of PURE MAGIC! You could search for a 100 years and never find another highlight reel like this one. Goal & Play after Goal & Play, each of the Highest Order. The best examples of this Genius at work can be seen @ 0:25, 1:33, 2:19, 4:26, 14:20, 17:24 & 17:38. His one on one goal conversation rate was reportedly 99.9% which is as close to perfection as it gets.
I also think he's the best player that ever lived and that includes Maradona, Pele, Messi, Ronaldo... and I'm not Italian lol, I'm English. I remember his penalty miss in the World Cup against Brazil and feeling so bad for the guy.
Yute Hube I would have to agree with you whole heartedly ! He just wasn’t destined to be a huge trophy winner, that’s down to luck and fate pretty much, but what he produced football wise with virtually no knees for 20 years is astonishing, loved by all and such a humble person. He is my idol in football and in life ! It’s a shame more football “fans” now don’t know of him ! They just look at numbers and stats and they don’t tell the whole story unfortunately ! I just wish Italy would have won ‘94 with him scoring a winner in that final, that would have been the icing on the cake and we would be talking about him as the best ever with Maradona imo
My all time ranking Not according to their achievement but individual ability 1 maradona 2 zidane 3 roberto baggio 4 ronaldo 9 5 ronaldo messi 6 pele 7 cruff 8 del piero totti 9 ronaldinho 10 zaltan
Best Italian player , i've seen in almost 40 years . He had magic in his feet. Even the team that became World champion in 82 didn't had a player as good like him.
This video broadened my outlook for Roberto Baggio. Pure genius. Unstoppable. Effortlessly extraordinary. Tremendously skilled. A complete player. Sadly, he is not as highly rated as he should have been. The way he created magic on the pitch at will and in the blink of an eye, is proof of sheer class. Absolutely spellbinding. An angelic beast, if I may. Plus, he toyed with the famous Italian defenses of the late 80s and 90s, which speaks volumes about his supreme ability. My humble respect to the legend. Definitely one of the GOATs for me. And yes, certainly much better than Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. A few of his dribbles resemble those of Messi but better and more beautifully executed. Fanboys might bash me and curse me for this, but this is what I believe. And this video underpins my belief.
Man i'm 36 and italian, i have grown up looking at him every sunday, mostly on tv cause i could not afford the stadium, showing magic each and every game with an incredible humility and dedication, italian defenders were rough and very hard to pass, Baggio was an artist and a champion inside and outside the pitch. He's just been a great example for me and my generation. No one could blame him for the missed penalty on world cup. He's just undisputed. Only Zidane could compete with his class.
Thank you Mr. Roberto Baggio for making me to love the football game. You are one of the main reasons why I always wanted to play and watch football. Such an elegance, unique style of playing, inteligence on the pitch, creativity, positioning... General on the pitch! Grazie!
13:30 and 13:34 = Baggio showing a young Zidane some real magic ;)

And at 15:30
peitro virchowod please, there is no video of him in youtube
Man I know I m gonna get a lot of hate but baggio was technically better than Zidane it's just bcoz he missed that penalty he is not seen in the same light like the other legends ...and plz do keep making videos u r a gr8 video compiler
baggio shold not have even played the final,he played the entire final carrying two injuries
The talent of Maradona, the elegance of Zidane, the goal instinct of van Basten and a very humble personnality. My favorite player. My father took me to Juve training to see him when i was a child. The best european player ever. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
after the great Franz Beckenbauer maybe. Cruyff might say hello too. But Baggio was a hell of a player. His Brescia years were pretty nice too
It's important to note that Kevin Keegan is also a European player. People forget that because of Brexit. But he was the best!
Lionel Andres Messi, Di Stefano and Cristiano Ronaldo are European
Most underrated player of all time.
He won the Balon d'Or, but people always seem to forget Baggio. People always talk about Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi. But only people who actually saw Baggio play know how much magic he had in his feet. How much emotion every move Baggio made spurred in an entire nation and many people around the world. There are many talented players, but very very few players who just have this magic aura about them. Baggio was one of them. I miss him so much.
Because people don t Know him. They Just Remember he Is that One Who failed the penalty...
Elegant, clean in every move, Roberto Baggio was poetry. The best italian ever, and certainly in the top ten of all time in the world
Baggio and Romario.
By Ronaldo I'll assume R9 cause Cristiano ain't on his level.
I just came here to say this. What an absolute fucking baller. Most underrated all time for me. Close second is Thierry fucking Henry
baggio looks like cristiano on his best
All respect from Brazil. Baggio was pure art football. Best regards.
Show
I'm from Italy and whenever in a conversation the name Baggio comes up, everybody sighs with nostalgia, like when you think of Christmas when you were a kid. He will always be Italy's favourite son when it comes to football.
Here in Italy there is a song that says: "since Baggio has stopped playing, it's not Sunday anymore". And well guys that's it, for year, every Sunday, every time he took the ball was pure emotion, like no one else has ever done again.
Whats the name of the song? I admire this legend.. cried like a..when he left Inter in his last match against parma.
Ofcourse Marcelo lippi was the manager, who else?
@@Persiatic Cesare Cremonini - Marmellata #25
Yes it's just like Valentino Rossi starting from pole in Mugello on a Sunday afternoon. MAMMA MIA!!!
Yes that Song say when Baggio has stopped playing and Senna has stopped racing it's not Sunday anymore! The two greatest idols of our generation!!!
@@haranbanjo8024 I dont know about senna, but Baggio is a Angel playing fotboll, sent from heaven in my eays. Specially in his later years in Inter and Brescia, with that ponnytail.. just love him. They made a movie about him..,it goes in Netflix.
Its because of players like Baggio that you start watching football.
Exactly
Sure
Kinda sad that we see less and less of footballers like him with each day.
*playing 😉
@@dimitrisk9773 *players 😉
When Guardiola presented Baggio to Messi he said that this guy with one knee was the best player that he ever seen during his time as a proffesional footballer. Baggio was a beast. Those who makes football look so easy deserves to be ranked as legends of this game and Baggio was one of them.
Of course he was introducing Baggio to Guardiola, so he wanted to be kind with Roby. But he played with R9 in Barca, in a season when the brazilian was something never seen before for a teenager (maybe only Pelé was so good at that age).
And Guardiola played with several legends......
Indeed! And good point. He played most of his career with one knee.
Guardiola : Andres, Andressss come here.
Iniesta : what?
Guardiola : He (Baggio) was better than you.
Iniesta : ?";"('!&)*)$!.
@@davidemaglio5745guardiola has spoken about Baggio on many occasions. He is the reason pep joined brescia
As proud English man I am more than happy to say Roberto Baggio is one of the finest football players I've ever seen. Football of the last 10 years cannot be compared to before 2000. Baggio was playing at this level at a time when opposition were still putting the boot into him if he played today where tackling is none existent he would be untouchable. The goal against the Czech Republic at Italia 90 is one of my favourite goals of all time. He was pure class .
Good Memory
Liverpool supporter here. Grew up watching Roberto Baggio in my teens. He was a phenomenon and of the very highest echelon of footballers. Deserves to be mentioned in the conversation of greatest footballer of all time. Yes he was that good.
I certainly agree
U are correct
He was unreal
I'll make it a hundred likes for you...
He was pure beauty
I was a bit surprised to hear my dad mentioning his name alongside Maradona, Cryuff,and Messi as the best footballers he has ever seen. I can see why now.
Probably Baggio was the most talented italian player ever
Baggio is better than Cruyff and Messi. The only reason why he isn't in the conversation is because he never won major trophies and that missed penalty. The only possibly better than Baggio was Maradona.
It should always be remembered that, unlike all the players mentioned above, he was hit by numerous injuries, some of which were serious. Otherwise, he would have achieved a lot more as a footballer.
Your dad is right..
@@eldeebcampeador and bergkamp
The best footballer I have ever seen in my life.
AGREED. THE GREATEST.
Baggio should be remember not only for his unique gift on the field, but for his soul too and for his behaviour: NEVER an uncorrect thing, never a riot, and a very sensible soul in a very hard world that limited him in his career choices, but gave him a special place in the heart of football lovers.
Also Maradona never had a bad behavior.

Dribbling, Football Intelligence, Fantasy and Elegance.
I was a child when watching him, to watch it again it's pure emotion. Genius.
Baggio tra i primi 5 giocatori di tutti i tempi e il più grande italiano della storia! Grazie Robi !🥰
The constant and serious injuries unfortunately shortened his peak, but even so overall Baggio was one of the most extraordinary players of all time. Immeasurable talent, impressive intelligence and speed of thought, spectacular technique, unpredictable moves. And if we talk specifically about prime Baggio, he was just from another world. Master, genius!
Like R9 both at the best world cup tournament 1994
Well written 👏

@@faraazkhan90 owh yea . Those you can mention this player means you really know football well. Not like those born 20 yrs ago n talking about the few now .
I'm here again because I watched "Il Divin codino" on Netflix. ❤️
Imagine a player that made his career with one knee... and in the end without both and still being better than most of the world players. He is considered one of the best ever if not the best, with 1 knee completely destroyed when he was only 18. Imagine without injuries he would have been the best player that football had ever seen, hands down. Rest of the players after injuries never been the same or they just quit. He built a legacy after that serious injury!
Me too
Ouuu what a shit, they could do it way better
Same
Divin codino is the film about him in Netflix?
Yes!! Another Magic Baggio video! This man is the most underrated player ever just from the penalty he missed he didnt got the recognition he deserved. Imagine if he would have won the world cup peoples would have known just like they know Maradona. But even without the world cup he is top 5 player of all time for me. If anyone truly knows this legend would agree with me this man was an alien so elegant he had everything!
Football not sooccer and had reconstructed knees .... incredible hes passing players like he never had injuries... with Maradona ( and Diego agrees 100%) best player ever!!!!
My first world cup I remember seeing was usa 94 and he was the star of it.Always one of my favourite players since then.Really wish he had won that world cup because he deserved it.
Like your nick, football not soccer... really true, guy!!!
yep, in reality he came so close to winning 3 world cups!Imagine that...woudlve been the best player ever, easily :)
1990- in Italy, they came 3rd, when could have/should have won at home.
1994- final, only lost on penalties
1998- he just missed the golden goal with a superb volley in the quarter final vs France. Had they wont that, then Italy wouldve beaten Ccroatia in the semi and then Brazil in the final
3 WORLD CUPS! :)
If one is bothered by the penalty or the head butt of Zidane... He is just a paper reader... Not a football fan...
One of the few football players who made me cry when he quitted with football :(
Roberto Baggio was "created" for football. He dribbles very smoothly and fluently. His skills, shots, passes are so natural and elegant.
My biggest football icon of all time. The man was amazing. Just one of the most humbled footballers. Who just loved to playing the game. And entertain everyone. Am 37 now and a fell blessed just for getting to see this great man on TV
One of the most complete players ever,he was fast,could dribble,very creative,brilliant passing and vision,excellent frre kick taker,could score bicycles and headers,the best italian footballer of all time!
After Totti ;) Baggio was less consistent & had bad injuries.
Does not invent, does not travel man, Totti was consistent where? Baggio is marked as one of the stars who won few titles if he doubted Totti won well less title yet out that he was never relevant in the nazionale like Baggio, stop talking shit Totti + Del Piero + Pirlo = maximum half Roberto Baggio.
Baggio was surely a better dribbler but Totti was insanely strong physically for being a nr.10. They both had insane vision and passing skills. Baggio won more probably because he had better teams. About consistency Baggio never won the golden foot but won the ballon d'or... They can't be compared too much because Baggio played in the golden era of football when skill mattered, Totti played great part of his carreer in the modern shitty physical football. I remember France 98 when Del Piero played but should have been left at home... Roby Baggio should have played with a young Totti as his sobstitute. They could have taken Italy a long way.... For me Totti could have been so much more if he had been in a top club and Baggio could have been in the top 5 of all times if he didn't suffer so many injuries... Tears comes to my eyes thinking of them playing...
most of the games sacchi and trapttoni would put him on the bench
I hated trapattoni so much... precursor of shitty modern football
For me Baggio and Zidane are the classiest players in history.
Laudrup
Amazing player. My hero. Big respect from Turkey
Baggio was my idol when I was teen, Imagine someone from middle east fighting with his friends to defend Baggio.
Same here...i was watching 94 in my room because my father was for brazil he was in yellow and sitting on This high ladder 🤷
Football fans like to fantasize about an uninjured Ronaldo(R9), what might have been....(and rightfully so). But I like to think what Baggio might have become. That dude was even more seriously injured than R9 before he even started in Serie A. There was literally never a game where he was fully fit, without pain...in what was (un)arguably the best defended league ever (both in skill and toughness, that was Serie A in the early 90's )...and yet he was able to produce so much magic. Imagine- a uninjured, fully fit Baggio with all his skills, technique, ball control, close control, free kicks, corner kicks, dribblings,.... in a today's top team, with better protection from referees, in a position/role of his liking ....easily top 10 of all time. The fact that he is mostly remembered for this one missed penalty(if he is remembered at all) makes me grind my teeth in frustration🤬
Great video btw 👍
i 100% agree in the 90 and early 2000 defensor were like butchers, people like Goikoetxea, Montero, Stam, Pepe and so on.. it was ball or knee
that's why Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will never be the best players of all time, players like Maradona, Baggio, Ronaldo, Van Basten (and a couple of other players), in their conditions would have scored thousands of goals
@@andreacali4050 imagine what the league would’ve been like if none of them got serious injuries. Add totti to that too. Penaldo and Missy would’ve been destroyed.
Do you notice that he dribbles like Ronaldo too, I meant the he feinted and moved pass the defenders
@@hamidonothman4654 Yes, not only that...he also had the habit to dribble around the keeper before scoring. He is also the only player(at least to my knowledge) in Serie A(in the 80's early 90's) who dribbled past two or more defenders on a regular basis(more often than Maradona at Napoli...or Ronaldo in the late 90's IIRC)...which is no mean feat considering his rather frail physical condition.
Baggio, was the book where Pirlo learnt poetry!
I Completely agree
Very well put.
That’s true!
Ma non superò mai il maestro
lol pirlo? Don’t forget del p, totti, insigne, Micolli, di Natale as well. They all learnt from the baggio book of poetry.
Non c'è bandiera che tenga, vedere Baggio era ed è pura poesia calcistica, qualsiasi maglia vesta. Così non ce ne sono più e forse non ce ne saranno più. Roberto sei stato unico e rimarrai nella leggenda.
Sono dell 82 e sono nato lo stesso giorno del Di in codino Il rimpianto più grande....

@@antoniodimaio5115 non era il 93...😉
@@antoniodimaio5115 dubito fortemente che nel 93 qualcuno potesse dire che Baggio fosse finito.
I am Italian and I am a grown man now but I will admit, I saw his last game...and I cried when he left the pitch for the last time!!! Grazie Don Roberto🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹
I'm English and I nearly cried when he missed his penalty at WC 1994. It was that bad even for me so I can't imagine what it must have been like for Italians. Baggio was loved by everyone of every nation, he was a player so gifted he literally made the sport of football itself better because he was part of it. It was the same when Bergkamp was playing for Arsenal, he just made our league better simply because you got to see him play. These players are special and you can count on one hand how many of them there have ever been!
@@yute-hube779 You're a gentleman!!!👍
Best italian football player ever...and without a knee! At 18 years, he destroyed the right knee
it took 220 stitches to put it back together.
18 years old...a career played on one knee only
Never knew that. I agree, he was a Rolls Royce of a footballer, just sublime.
and another knee in 2002, but the italy don't take for the mondial korea japan, but he not injury, i'm italian know roberto, Trapattoni don't take for the mondial becouse figc italian calcio(football) someone don't like baggio, mostly dichiaration on lippi, (lippi uomo di merda!)
Giocatore R, Baggio che ha giocato con Fiorentina, Juventus, Milan, Bologna, Inter, Brescia non regge il confronto Messi che ha giocato solo in una grosso club.
@@mikeyeah5169 Di Mondial c'è solo mondial casa, al massimo world cup :D
Maldini was better in my opinion
For me he was without doubt the greatest Italian footballer ever. Right up there with the best the game has ever seen. He was poetry in motion. Baggio had everything.
The master of technique. Free kicks, full range of shooting and passing with either foot, dribbling, and that sublime first touch. Vision and creativity, and deadly finishing ability. Combined with superb agility and the ability to run with the ball so close to his feet on those muddy pitches, with intense tackles flying in. There is an elegance and effortlessness that Baggio had that felt truly unique. One of my favorite players to watch growing up..Along with Michael Laudrup, and of course Maradona..
When you reach such a level where victory doesn't matter that much anymore, and instead you're judge just on the quality of the football you play, that's when, in between the stars, you become a sun in the space that football is.
I’ve never seen a Italian player quite like Baggio. He was skilled, could dribble and was very elegant. It was wonderful watching him beat defenders and score free kicks, it didn’t seem like he needed any effort.
Indeed th-cam.com/video/04UdXkepR7U/w-d-xo.html
I have seen a player who was/is a better dribbler than Baggio. One of the greatest goal scorers of all time as well as a legendary playmaker.
When players were real footballers unlike the present movie stars .. thank you for letting some of us realize that football is not just about Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo :)
Lol what do you mean by "real footballers" players these days are way more fitter and more disciplined about how they approach the game. In Baggio's era players would regularly smoke and drink, sometimes even at half time.
@@najibchevalier4727 do u think they dont drink and party these days?they do but what he meant that footballers back then was much better then players play today's because the wasn't so much protected like the are now and defender's were very brutal I u have to be at top level to pass them but now they touched you and is foul so is much easier to play for strikers these days then back in golden era's of football and taht way is called golden era's but now is only messi and cr7 and back the u have many palyers so good like messi and cr7 and even better.
@@najibchevalier4727 In the late 80s and perhaps very early 90s, boozing etc. was a part of English football, but not at half time :) (I don't know if you are knowingly exaggerating or have been told some tall stories, but I don't think any footballers routinely drank at half time in the history of the game. I would be surprised if any had smoked at HT either, though that would be just about plausible back in the 50s and earlier) In Italian football, things were far more disciplined (apart from anything else they've never had our boozy pub culture), you could not get away with that sort of behaviour and Baggio seems to have been a very clean living man in any case. But Italy, and according to English players of the time other countries such as France and Spain, did not condone such behaviour at all, and English players going abroad found the fitness and general control over their daily regime more stringent.
@@najibchevalier4727 wtf you think in that era players werent proffesionals? Now its more publicity the trainings (instagram, etc) and the diet, but still a lot of current players arent that professionals, the training methods may be better but you take messi and c.ronaldo as the common, and you have balotelli, neymar, wilsheres, even vardy who has bragged about his "unorthodox" diet for name some examples, players nowadays not only drink/smokes and party like the old ones, they have social medias and wayy more distractions with commercials and other shits
@@najibchevalier4727 You lost, really.
Smoking and drinking? Baggio is not from 1910.
Then at Baggio time the protection rules for strikes were not in use, at that time defenders were tuff, easy today dribbling defenders who can't touch you.
Playing over 30 was a dream for strikers, Baggio get 7 knees operation.
Imagine Messi and Ronaldo magically they find themselves in the 90's and Rumenigge walking to them to say: I will send you out in stretchers, after 5 minute and few tackles both will ask to go out that arena.
Messi and Ronaldo are two of the best players in their generation or post 2000 new soccer rules to allow strikers to shine. But compared to many of the past including Baggio they can just shine his shoes.
Why does this make me want to cry?!
His pony tail makes me want to cry only kidding it made him stand out.....it's because despite of his injuries he entertained football fans around the world......
Because it's a time lost. Nostalgia of the 90s... & Honesty also think the music like triggers it just as much as the old film... the beat is simple but powerful. I dunno. Ha

@@muhammedalthaf2145 Consistency and skill are two different things, we compare each player with another by what they present during their peak, because sometimes injuries are simply unfair for their careers. Messi is consistent in Barcelona, his form suddenly dropped at PSG and its still barely acceptable. Even Cristiano stopped being the monster he was as a goalscorer. Players like Ronaldo Nazario, Roberto Baggio and Johan Cruyff are much more well-rounded than Messi and Cristiano. Ronaldo has finshing, dribble speed and technique, headers, instant reaction, speed, acceleration, two-footed. Baggio is very similar. Messi simply doesn’t produce the stuff they did (even WITH their career ending injuries). Messi had no major injuries, that’s why he was consistent for 14 years. Cristiano had more serious injuries, and held his form for 15-16 years. But that doesn’t tell which player was better at their peak.
Neanche se lo clonano ne nasce un'altro come lui...unico!
Masterpiece of beauty, precision, fantasy, elegance. One of the best player ever!
He was unbelievable, unbeatable, unmarkable, unbreakable and by all means, unmatched. What a baller. Whenever he had the ball, he was a threat, whenever he was in the box he was a threat, whenever he stood over the ball for a set piece he was a threat. Just class, elegance and pure magnificence.
What a marvelous player!
I will never witness such a pure beauty on a football field again.

Before the age of social media, this player had it all. Thing is he was never self promoting, always humble which is qhy in many days he's forgotten. But forgotten superstars stand the test of time
In the era of social media and stats, the GOAT conversation always digresses into titles won, ballon d'or won etc. Who cares. When Baggio was around the game was so much harder, heavy pitches, aggressive tackling, and he just ploughed through all that like an incredibly elegant warrior. I dare say as far as technique he was among the greatest with Maradona and Ronaldinho. I don't like comparisons, all I know is his football stirs emotions that only Maradona does for me.

The fact that this man had a career ending injury at 18 years old and still became one of the best ever, being the 3rd best then behind Maradona and Pele (before Messi and Ronaldo era) and the best italian player of all time just makes you think how much greater he could have been if it were not for that injury.
Cruyff
Come on...
Before his injury he was playing in the third Italian league (serie C1) scoring 13 goals in 35 matches.
At the same age Pelé scored 6 goals in 3 games in a world cup and R9 34/34 in the first Brazilian league.
Maradona was on the verge of being part of the Argentinian team in WC 78.
Roberto Baggio, Dennis Bergkamp, Luc Nilis...the most stilistic players of that era. Oh how I miss them.
The most incredible thing about Baggio (net of all his other immense qualities) and compared to many other champions, is that when he threw the ball into the goal, at 99.9% he scored, he had a precision out of the human world.
Incredible. He was as close as it gets to PERFECTION 💖💎✨🙌👑
Fabrizio Ravanelli, in Juventus with him (1993-95) said that in addition to having a superfine technique, he also had a precision and a nastiness under the net that made him score many goals like a true N9 striker, legendary!!
@@wallismarcobius2872 hell yeah
I would have 99.9% accuracy to if i got to throw it in the goal

Quello appunto che secondo me non fa iscrivere tra i più grandi Lionel Messi è proprio il fatto che è mancato lì dove gli altri hanno saputo veramente fare la differenza. Poi il dubbio sorge pure da un Barca fra i più forti di sempre, oltre a lui.
Per ciò concludo che cmq a mio parere quel 1986 scrisse chiaramente che: il pibe non lo batte nessuno. Con e senza le sue manchevolezze... Ma Maradona resta inarrivabile.
I feel deeply moved each time I see his magic. He was no less than Maradona. Baggio could make anything of the ball. Anything.
He was actually insane bro, wow I did not know that
Back in the days where there is no media like nowadays , that's the main reason we didn't hear about him thatmuch , after watching this video i admitdly realised why he is the best Italian player of all time , i rate him with Zizou and Mardona .
One of most complete player,strong equally with both feet and a complete package of all essential football skills
Best italian player ever. One of the best in the whole world, but i don't know if abroad, out of Italy, people, young people, do know about him and his incredible skills. Fantasy and precision in dribbling, passing and shooting. No ordinary dribbling, no ordinary shoot. When everyone in front of the gol would shoot low and score, he shoot high with effect and score the same. Incredible! I would like that Messi and Ronaldo talk about him.
Baggio, I didn't know that He was so good, than for me, He was the Italian Maradona. God!! This guy was amazing, good control with the ball, dribbling, a striker, what else you can ask to a player to be an soccer star. Wow!! Maldini, the best defender of the world.
*When people talk about Messi's dribbling like it's unique, I always remember of Baggio!*
He is an absolute Magician in the pitch , beautiful football at its finest, truly impressive, this is how the number 10 in football should look like ,mastering the game with ease, a huge respect from Algeria to the best Italian player of all time 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇩🇿🇩🇿🙏🙏🙏
THANK U FROM TORONTO CANADA. IM 3RD GENERATION CANADIAN ITALIAN...AND ZIDANE WAS SUPERB LETS NOT FORGET
I think it was right for him to win 2 ballon d'ors! He actually arrived 2nd in 1994, Stoichkov won it...Baggio led italy almost single handedly to the final...smh
To be fair stoichkov single handedly let Bulgaria to the semi final by even beating the holders germany
yes! He also was in barcellona who was in the final of the champions league so for sure it was kind of deserved.
@@hueyfreeman1983 i would disagree with that frankly. i'm bulgarian and stoichkov's role is a tad overinflated. i'll grant you he scored when necessary but to say he carried the team is a little much. it was not like argentina and maradona. without maradona they could not beat anybody. i would say without stoichkov bulgaria was still a force to be reckoned with at the time with the likes of Balakov, Lechkov, Sirakov - all brilliant players. note the 2nd goal against germany was scored by Lechkov with an assist by Yankov. Stoitchkov didn't figure anywhere in there.
interesting to note that stoichkov's presence on the pitch was hardly noticeable until after '93 and the crucial 2nd leg away match with france where kostadinov scored in the last second of the 90th minute to eliminate france.
i'd say stoichkov got the award mostly because of barcelona not the world cup showing.
also i'm bulgarian - but credit where credit is due and baggio outshined stoitchkov where it mattered and that is the semifinal :)
Yes i think he deserves the second ballon d'or too.
Enrico Rossi Baggio could hv won it if he scored that penalty n crowned WC champion! Too bad the best player liked Maldini, Cruyff, Platini n Messi etc didn’t always win the WC
A genius, no matter trophies or records.
Absolutely! To be fair his goalscoring record was exceptional given that he often played quite deep, not to mention that when he played, Italy had probably the best defenders and defenses the game has ever seen. He's easily an all time great, but just imagine what he would have done if he didn't destroy his knee when he was 18?
My Dad grew up watching Baggio and now I think I found my idol
Best player in the world ......legende...love u roby
The best line of the day. Budha baggio. Namaste.
BAGGIO is the Greatest Footballer in History going by this footage. I've never seen anything like it before or since. 18 & half minutes of PURE MAGIC! You could search for a 100 years and never find another highlight reel like this one. Goal & Play after Goal & Play, each of the Highest Order. The best examples of this Genius at work can be seen @ 0:25, 1:33, 2:19, 4:26, 14:20, 17:24 & 17:38. His one on one goal conversation rate was reportedly 99.9% which is as close to perfection as it gets.
Yes, it's crazy. Every football enthuisast needs to see this footage.
I also think he's the best player that ever lived and that includes Maradona, Pele, Messi, Ronaldo... and I'm not Italian lol, I'm English. I remember his penalty miss in the World Cup against Brazil and feeling so bad for the guy.
Yute Hube I would have to agree with you whole heartedly ! He just wasn’t destined to be a huge trophy winner, that’s down to luck and fate pretty much, but what he produced football wise with virtually no knees for 20 years is astonishing, loved by all and such a humble person. He is my idol in football and in life ! It’s a shame more football “fans” now don’t know of him ! They just look at numbers and stats and they don’t tell the whole story unfortunately ! I just wish Italy would have won ‘94 with him scoring a winner in that final, that would have been the icing on the cake and we would be talking about him as the best ever with Maradona imo
Then u haven't seen enough
@@lilaze60 really? Send me a better highlights package 😉

Un joueur hors norme un dribbler fou jamais vu
Best Italian player , i've seen in almost 40 years . He had magic in his feet. Even the team that became World champion in 82 didn't had a player as good like him.
Totti and del piero were legends but baggio was just a cut above all of them
@@Heer1ify Baggio had that Maradona, Messi, Pelé, R9 magic.
Overcame every obstacle in life.
People forget how good this guy was. Had they won that WC in 94, it was Baggio that dragged them there.....similar to Diego at 86.
This video broadened my outlook for Roberto Baggio. Pure genius. Unstoppable. Effortlessly extraordinary. Tremendously skilled. A complete player. Sadly, he is not as highly rated as he should have been. The way he created magic on the pitch at will and in the blink of an eye, is proof of sheer class. Absolutely spellbinding. An angelic beast, if I may. Plus, he toyed with the famous Italian defenses of the late 80s and 90s, which speaks volumes about his supreme ability. My humble respect to the legend. Definitely one of the GOATs for me.
And yes, certainly much better than Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. A few of his dribbles resemble those of Messi but better and more beautifully executed. Fanboys might bash me and curse me for this, but this is what I believe. And this video underpins my belief.
Yes you talk also about italian defenders. No one underlined this before, but it is a true condition he was really able to deal with.
Man i'm 36 and italian, i have grown up looking at him every sunday, mostly on tv cause i could not afford the stadium, showing magic each and every game with an incredible humility and dedication, italian defenders were rough and very hard to pass, Baggio was an artist and a champion inside and outside the pitch. He's just been a great example for me and my generation. No one could blame him for the missed penalty on world cup. He's just undisputed. Only Zidane could compete with his class.
MrKitestramurt Lucky u are from his country..BAGGIO IS MY ALL TIME FAV PLAYER..Love from India
I still remember his goal against czechoslovakia
so very true
Thank you Mr. Roberto Baggio for making me to love the football game. You are one of the main reasons why I always wanted to play and watch football. Such an elegance, unique style of playing, inteligence on the pitch, creativity, positioning... General on the pitch! Grazie!
Questo video lo guardo una volta al mese, con questa musica mi vengono i brividi, nostalgia di Baggio e di un calcio che non c'è più.
Ma non solo di un calcio che non c'è più ma di un Italia che non c'è più
Non è più domenica...❤
