Italian football legend Roberto Baggio has broken his silence on the ‘violent’ ordeal he and his family endured when armed robbers launched a sudden attack on their home as they watched the Euro 2024 match between Spain and Italy. The 57-year-old was at his residence in Altavilla Vicentina, Italy, when a group of five intruders broke in around 10 pm local time last night.
Baggio attempted to defend his family but was struck in the head with a gun during the assault. The attackers then confined Baggio, his wife, two sons, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law in a room, where they proceeded to steal watches, jewelry, and money from their rural estate, where they have resided for 15 years.
Despite his injuries, the former Ballon d’Or winner managed to free his family from the room after the assailants departed. The robbery reportedly lasted over 40 minutes, according to Corriere della Sera. Today, Baggio was seen on his property wearing a bandage on his head, recovering from the injuries sustained during the incident.
