Former Italy forward Roberto
Baggio was injured after being attacked by criminals during a
robbery at his home in countryside near Vicenza while he was
watching the Italy-Spain Euro 2024 football match with his
family on Thursday, local news media reported on Friday.
One member of the gang of five armed bandits reportedly hit
Baggio in the head with the butt of a gun after he attempted to
stop them.
The criminals then locked the former Ballon d'Or-winner and his
family in a room and proceeded with the robbery, according to
the reports.
The 57-year-old broke down the door when the gang left the house
and called the Carabinieri police.
The former player has lived in a villa in hills near the town of
Altavilla Vicentina with his wife Andreina and three children
for around 15 years.
