Baggio robbed and rushed to the hospital
Baggio and his family were the victims of a home invasion yesterday during Italy’s clash against Spain.
According to Corriere del Veneto, as reported by the Sun, the “serious attack” happened in the Altavilla Vicentina villa of the former Ballon d'Or winner.
Five individuals with guns reportedly broke into Baggio's house, and he attempted to fight them back.
However, he and his loved ones found themselves imprisoned in a closet as the valiant star was unable to repel them.
After that, the thieves stole jewellery and watches from Baggio's house before he was able to escape and call the police.
Following the attack, which police are currently looking into, the Italian had to spend the night in his local hospital and required stitches.
