“It is a shame that Italy cannot go to the World Cup in Qatar after the victory at the European Championship,” said the Italian football legend, a day after the defeat of Italy in the so-called ‘Finalissima’ against Argentina (0-3). “I even find it repulsive. Didn’t those guys deserve a reward? I don’t know how I would have reacted if it happened to me.”
Italy lost in the semi-finals of the play-offs to North Macedonia, which was then eliminated by Portugal. Baggio: „I find it difficult to accept it. Because of one small mistake in such a game against North Macedonia, in which anything can happen, you have to stay at home?”
Italy will play against Germany in group 3 of the A-division of the Nations League on Saturday. It then plays against Hungary (June 7), England (June 11) and again Germany (June 14).
