Italian football legend Roberto Baggio has been admitted to hospital after being robbed at gunpoint while watching a Euro 2024 game at home.
The ex-Juventus and Fiorentina star confronted the intruders upon their entry, but was said to have then been struck on the head with a gun and shepherded into a locked room while items were stolen.
The former Italy number ten is widely considered to be the greatest Italian footballer of all time, winning the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards in 1993 for his exploits.
Baggio scored an impressive five of Italy's six goals in the knockout rounds of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, including a brace in the semi-final, before missing a decisive spot-kick in the final.
