The man who died standing

SEK 249

July 17, 1994. The most heartbreaking, poetic, and painful image in World Cup history. After single-handedly dragging an underpowered Italy to the final in Pasadena, Roberto Baggio—the "Divine Codtail" and the undisputed star of the tournament—steps up to take the must-score final penalty against Brazil. In a cruel twist of fate, the man whose sublime genius defined the summer blazes his shot high over the crossbar, handing Brazil the trophy. As the Seleção erupts in joy behind him, Baggio stands frozen at the spot, head bowed, hands on his hips in absolute, isolated silence. The ultimate tragedy of the beautiful game: a footballing deity brought to his knees by a cruel twist of inches, proving that even the finest artists are human.
