Roberto Baggio's trophy case includes the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year in the same season, a feat few have matched. He is the only Italian to score in three World Cups and shares the national record for most World Cup goals with nine. His 205 Serie A goals place him seventh on the all-time list, a remarkable achievement for a player who often operated as a second striker rather than a pure finisher. Baggio's individual brilliance earned him a spot on the FIFA 100 and the FIFA World Cup Dream Team. His 1993 Ballon d'Or victory made him the first Italian to win the award since Paolo Rossi in 1982.
