"I Killed The Ghost Of 1994 When I Scored That Penalty" Roby Baggio Said .. Chiesa Was Trying To Calm Down Roby But Dino Baggio Took Him Away !!

Source of the penalty kick statistics: "Una Porta Nel Cielo." :

"As for the penalty, I don't want to brag but I've only ever missed a couple of penalties in my career. And they were because the goalkeeper saved them not because I shot wide. That's just so you understand that there is no easy explanation for what happened at Pasadena. When I went up to the spot I was pretty lucid, as much as one can be in that kind of situation. I knew Taffarel always dived so I decided to shoot for the middle, about halfway up, so he couldn't get it with his feet. It was an intelligent decision because Taffarel did go to his left, and he would never have got to the shot I planned.

Unfortunately, and I don't know how, the ball went up three metres and flew over the crossbar. As for taking the penalty in the first place, I was knackered, but I was the team's penalty taker. I've never run away from my responsibilities. Only those who have the courage to take a penalty miss them. I failed that time. Period. And it affected me for years. It was the worst moment of my career. I still dream about it. If I could erase a moment from my career, it would be that one."
