Roberto Baggio was robbed and injured by some criminals last night in his home, ad Altavilla Vicentinawhile he and his family were watching the match Spain-Italy.
According to local news sites, Baggio he tried to stop the criminals – there were apparently five of them and armed – but one of them hit him on the forehead with the butt of a gun. The former Ballon d’Or winner and his family were locked in a room, and thieves stole from the house. When the gang left the house, Baggio he broke down the door and called the police.
The Carabinieri of the Vicenza Company went to the scene and were alerted by the same Baggio.

The villa is isolated and is in the center of a large plot of countryside and woods. Roberto Baggio he lives with his wife Andreina and his three children.
The president of Veneto Luca Zaia expressed “closeness and solidarity to Roberto Baggio and his family, and I am sure I can send him the embrace of all the Venetians who made people dream with his unparalleled skill on the grass of international fields. I hope so – he continues Zaia – That ‘Divine Pigtail‘, champion symbol of our football and our region, a person we feel close and friend, can soon recover together with his family from this bad evening and from the wounds for which he was followed and treated by the staff of the health facilities of Arzignano of the Ulss Berica , with whom I kept in touch.
