1994 WORLD CUP FINAL: Brazil 0-0 Italy (3-2 PSO) 

In Italy, After this match saying ‘’ Even Baggio can miss a penalty’’ has become a recurrent expression to support someone after a mistake

For those who doesn't know, Baggio was an outstanding penalty scorer. In all of his career he scored 111 goals this way.

I felt so sorry for Roberto Baggio. Without him I don't think Italy would have gone all the way to the final. He played phenomenally that year and scored five goals in total, and then he of all people would miss the penalty. He didn't deserve that.

Baggio took far too much criticism for missing that penalty kick. I understand that he was Italy's best player and they depended greatly on him. But where is the criticism for Baresi and Massaro, both of who also didn't score on their penalty kicks? If either one of them scored, then Baggio's miss wouldn't have meant instantly losing the match.

First off: That Italian goal keeper was astounding. Second: I can't believe Baggio missed that penalty.

Doesn't matter if he missed a penality in that situation, as a non italian football fan, i can clearly say Baggio is best Italian player ever, and top 5 i've ever watched. Messi and Ronaldo are like success machines nowadays but watching Baggio was way more fun. He was an all rounder attacking player. Not only his football talent but his look with that famous hair style, earrings, everything about him is legendary and unforgettable. He is still the best football icon for me.

Baggio still one of the best player ever ..

I am here after the Netflix documentary about Baggio. He was an amazing player!

Brazilian team honored Ayrton Senna at the end, he had died in may. Baggio: “I think it was Senna who made me miss the penalty. He was the one who took the ball and pulled it up ”

After 27 years, We're happy now "After winning Euro 2020". Forza Italia 🇮🇹 and respect to the most powerful team "Brazil 🇧🇷"

ITALIA🇮🇹 BRAZIL🇧🇷 1994 ⚽️ Italy Brazil one of the most beautiful finals of the world cup 💪💪💪💪

I remember watching this match and thinking 'how on earth can two talented teams like Brazil and Italy , chockful of skillful footballers, produce such a boring final.' Then a few months later an American from California explained to me that in L.A. in July at 3 in the afternoon temperatures can reach 110f (40°C). Well done FIFA for tournament planning !

1994: "goalkeeper level: legend"

Good old memories, when all teams were REALLY playing for their counrtry, instead the money and fame. :)

Pablo Maldini was in prime. I saw it. I was 16 and could never forget how he defended.

Baresi was Italy's man of the match here. Played despite having a prior injury, defended like a true man. The ultimate defender, Maldini's mentor and partner. Watch "Franco Baresi heroics - World Cup 1994"

3:18 Greatest moment of this final

I was 10 back then A Brazil fan, but feel bad for Baggio after his miss! The italian squad was pretty strong and Romario was like dancing when he score!

Queria ter vivido essa época :/

You have to see the brazilian television version: they played Senna's soundtrack, the narrator being choked by Pelé, it was pure madness

I still remember watching this the night it was played in July 1994, I was only 10 years old 😀

Pasadena 1994, the last fight of the heroes sent to war Pasadena 1994, for the glory

Brasil tenía en la banca a uno de los más grandes futbolistas de la historia Ronaldo "el fenómeno"

I was in the stadium that day , a real dream come true

jogam a culpa em Baggio mas se esquecem que Baresi e Massaro já tinham errado seus pênaltis antes... injusto culpar Roberto Baggio.

It’s often forgotten Italy missed two other penalties in the final of 94. Even if Baggio had scored the next Brazilian would have won it. It’s also overlooked that Baggio played so well in the tournament he pretty much singlehandedly got Italy to the final. In the final he was injured (hamstring) and never should have played. The conspiracy part of the story is Baggio was made to play the final to keep the sponsors happy. The mysterious side of it is Baggio has said he had no idea how his penalty sailed over the bar, he has never been able to replicate it and said at the time of kicking it it felt right. His ratio of penalty conversions was around 85%, with the other 15% not being misses, but saves. Supposedly he never took one penalty during his career that went off target.

R.Baggio ''10'' My Idol Ever

Brazilian here and I must say that Baggio is superb!

I remember watching this live on tv......so many great players and legends. Felt bad for Maldini and Roberto Baggio

Who came here after watching Nanowar of Steel - Pasadena 1994?

love Brazil from Bangladesh 🇧🇷♥️🇧🇩

SENNA... ACCELERAMOS JUNTOS! O TETRA È NOSSO! 💚💛💙 AYRTON 💙💛💚

I became a big time Brazil and Romario fan that summer! What a talented team! Also that is when I first got into soccer and tried out for my high school's JV Soccer team and made it!

Who here in 2024❤❤

Tive o prazer de ver nossa seleção ganhar duas copas do mundo em 94 e 2002 .

This was one heck of a Final ! Some great shots in the game (not the Penalties).

Still remember bebeto's baby dance and baggio's miss. My 1st world cup. Final ended at 5 am local time. I was 8yrs old.

I’m here for Nanowar of Steel for their song PASADENA 1994!

Bebeto e Romário sim eram jogadores de seleção. Saudade daquele tempo.😢😢😢😢

What memories. I went with my family to two of the Pontiac Silverdome games. 🇺🇸

first world cup seen with my father

Soy salvadoreño y Amo Brasil

Pasadena 1994 Last fight of the heroes sent to war

Es uno de los mejores finales de un mundial, fue increíble nadie esperaba es falla de penal de Roberto Baggio.

Roberto Baggio. Your stance on the penalty spot will be remembered for generations. You are a real G.O.A.T.

Unexpected Sabaton

Nanowar and Sabaton brought me here

I was 4 and 1/2 years old and I still remember driving down the streets in Brazil in my dad's car honking the horns. I didn't really realize what was happening but I experienced it and it was awesome to see a country in uproar like that.

Que recuerdos esos tiempos, cuando tenía nueve años recuerdo cuando vi esa final que era de infarto, desde allí me empezaron a inculcar mi familia de ser Brasil 🇧🇷 de corazón y hasta hoy en día sigo siendo Brasil hasta la muerte, y este domingo seremos campeones de America, que viva Brasil el penta campeón de todo los tiempos. 🇧🇷💪🏻

That time Roberto Baggio was a superstar

I was graduating from university and my brother called me and said “hey, do you want to get World Cup tickets, they go on sale today“. I said “sure… but how much?” He said let me check. He called back and said $75 for the final in Pasadena. Uuuuh yes!!! Turned out to be a dream. Brazil and our beloved Italy made it to the final and we had tickets:-) To say the air is electric is an understatement. When the first goals were scored, the frenzy placed you in the present more real than life itself. First time I felt that. Skydiving second. :-) What a memory. My brother had an enormous Italian flag sewn in the garment district and we brought it in a duffel bag. Went to top of section and had each guy in the corners hold a corner and then my brother and I each with a corner ran down the stairs unfurling over our sections heads. The roar was so incredible that the players all turned to look. I came looking for full game. What an incredible once in a lifetime experience. Only possible because it was held in the US when popularity was low and ticket sales dismal. Prices skyrocketed for final of course.

Dunga jogou muito, jornalista dessa época perseguia jogador e ele foi perseguido.

This match is so epic that Sabaton should make a song out of it titled Pasadena 1994 Oh wait…

Помним этот финал. После него еще бразильцы прошли с плакатом в память о Великом Волшебнике Айртоне Сенне 🇧🇷

Recent Brazil vs Croatia Penalty reminded me of this match. One kick can truly ruin everything.

Baggio and Romario the Best striker ever

Brazil did this for Senna, for what Senna gave to them, they gave back. Rest in peace Ayrton Senna Da Silva, we still mourn your loss.

Brazil is the best 🇧🇷❤🇵🇹

I am a Sri Lankan and came to know about the story of Roberto Baggio. Dann it must be a heartbreaking experience of having missed that penalty. Despite being being gifted footballer of his generation, he could hold onto the coveted cup. This just reminds me of a iconic incident in 1999 Cricket World Cup semi final between South Africa and Australia where a player called Allan Donald got run out after not realising that South Africa needed just one more run to win but with one wicket left. Allan Donald since then being thrashed by people in his country for that run out which cost South Africa the World Cup. Donald was insanely a talented fast bowler of his generation.

2:51 'THIS' scene

Baggio played with a partially torn hamstring...coach should have left him on the bench despite him begging to play

Tafarel o melhor goleiro da história da seleção

Im Blessed to have seen him play when I was 14. Was and STILL is one of my favorite players of all time... I remember his upcoming uproaring into the 1994 World Cup. I wanted those black Diadora shoes with the yellow chevron for soooo long!!. Watched the Netflix special...and took me back to 1994!!! Il Divino, grazie per tutti i ricordi!!!

*The Shootout:* X Franco Baresi missed X Márcio Santos missed 0-1 Demetrio Albertini 1-1 Romário 1-2 Alberigo Evani 2-2 Branco X Daniele Massaro missed 3-2 Carlos Dunga X Roberto Baggio missed

Just here after Nanowar's "Pasadena 1994"

Brazilian people so happy to see their country champion 5 times. Only they have these beautiful feelings.

I LOVE YOU.. KING..PELE..❤ PROM BANGLADESH.. 🇧🇩🇧🇩

What a blistering final, hard to believe it ultimately ended up goalless, both keepers were on top of their game! I always smile when I see Pagliuca kissing the post at 0:50 😁

Even though Brazil deserved the match overall,I was cheering for Italy just for Baggio. I remember that Romario scored his penalty with the help of the post and almost missed.Baggio missed afterwards. Both of them were the best players of that World Cup but I think the small slice of success and luck was summed up here on those both penalties.

Roberto Baggio Was A Legend But His Penalty This Game Was Pretty Bad

Dunga was such world class. Absolute legend. He opened the score with world class penalty

I and my Dad watched this together late 2am...back in the days...seeing penalty shoot outs for the first time ever and getting thrilled...

whats crazy here is that, brazil won 5 WC's and Italy 4. One penalty kick is the difference between them possible. could have been 5-4 the other way round. what an insane final, maybe the most legendary penalty shootout ever.

Baggio and Baresi were severally injured when they played this final. If they reached the final in normal physical conditions, Italy would have won. Baggio had been Injured for the whole world cup, but on this game pain reached its limit. Roberto Baggio has been with no doubt the best football player who ever lived together with Maradona, with the detail that Baggio was on Maradona'a level with just one knee. That Brazil was very strong anyway, and deserved to win the Cup.

They always focus on Baggio but Italy was absolutely horrendous during this shootout and during regular time. They caught several breaks including the shot that bounced off the post after Pagliuca made a lazy effort to stop a routine shot on goal. Brazil also missed several wide open nets on fast breaks where Italian defenders failed to protect inside the box.

Dois times de peso, incontestável. Agora que goleiros são esses, de parabéns

Dunga (the one who scored the last penalty) and taffarel (goalkeeper) both have Italian ancestry in them but they are in fact Brazilians 😂

Até arrepia os caras era muito foda

Those were great times! Amazing teams with gifted players eager to win, exciting and spectacular games... Pure delight from beginning to end. What a WorldCup!

Eu choro vendo esses vídeos, pois em todas essas conquistas do Brasil eu ainda não era nascido. Nasci em 2003, e tudo o que pude ver foram vídeos das conquistas já feitas pelo Brasil e me orgulho disso, mas meu sonho é ver o Brasil ser campeão, ver ele conquistando uma vitória da copa do mundo! Não apenas em vídeos, e sim em momento real! Com a derrota do Brasil nessa copa de 2018 só vejo pessoas ao meu redor pessimistas, falando que o Brasil perdeu o talento e que devemos nos contentar com o passado, mas eu acredito na seleção brasileira e no meu país, e sei que um dia verei o Brasil sendo campeão, e quando esse dia chegar eu vou ficar sem voz! :') Eu sei que a probabilidade de alguém ler esse texto é mínima, mas para quem leu até aqui, obrigada pela atenção! ^•^

The most impressive 0-0 match I've ever seen. At that time I was 10 only.

i was 14, i was standing in front of the big screen TV in Naismith Hall on the University of Kansas main campus waiting for the Rick Benben Soccer Camp to begin. Roberto Baggio was my favorite player, and I about passed out when i saw him miss it.

Baggio is one of the greats of the game. He deserves better than to be remembered for this.

Sai que é sua Taffarel!!!

It was my childhood memory.

3:18 Pele dancing 🤣🤣

FIFA World Cup🏆football⚽1994 'BRAZIL'🇧🇷

Romário world cup 1994

Baresi was spectacular in this match. He played the most outstanding match for a defender

If people remember that mondiale, it was one of the best in FIFA’s history!!! The games were all super and we enjoyed all, technically the teams back then were real and played seriously, and only the best in the world played. Coming up to the final game, both Brazil & Italy worked very hard before they reached this final and both were exhausted. So when they finally faced each other, they both deserved to be there, and both were at there acumen. This video shows that both goalkeepers were so adept they both saved their team. It was exhausting even to us tv spectators. I remember having flown to Hawaii on vacation and did not want to miss it at 3 am, and stayed up all night to watch it. Both teams teams played so hard and well and the game was clean and both were giants and deservedly so. Baggio got hurt several times and we expected him to be taken out but he (or his coach) insisted on going on, and it was natural that he took the final and decisive shot. I was very upset he didn’t score bec Italy up to that moment was the best team and we all expected them to win. But it was understood why such a giant missed the best opportunity he and his team had for glory. I’m surprised he was still able to stand up and walk. Football history to my knowledge did not see such giants. Many of them on both sides goofed at the moments when they should’ve scored, but exhaustion was the main factor for all this. And this game is etched in our memory forever not bec of so many missed great shots (Italy’s goalkeeper kissed the edge for saving an amazing goal-to-have-been). It was Brazil’s luck nothing else that made them win. Baggio has never been seen since then. That mondiale was Italy’s and should have won and it would’ve been their bestest best.

Yo it's 2024 anyone here?

I watch this Match when i was in ex- Iraqi Army in Karkuk in north Iraq when was under siege and Block and other sanctions !

Baggio remains the greatest italian player of all times regardless the fans though may have no mercy instead

When world cups were real !! 😏

Baggio deserved to win the world cup . I remember the match from Algeria. I was 14 at that time

This was my first FIFA WC as a kid & still the love affair continues till date. Brazil & Argentina, apart from these 2 never ever supported any other team.

ASI es el fútbol. Aún debe llorar R. baggio cuando mira este video😢😭

Crazy to play this Final in that mid-day heat....they could just play it in the evening and had a better game.

Muita emoção nessa copa!

R.Baggio drama...
