Baggio claimed two Italian League titles , first with Juventus in 1994-1995 , and then with AC Milan the following season . While playing with Brescia in 2004 , the " Divine Ponytail " broke the 200 Serie A goal mark , scoring five more before season ' s end . Baggio then graced the fans with a final international appearance in a friendly match against Spain before hanging up his cleats .

His international career will forever be scarred by the fateful penalty shootout miss against Brazil in the 1994 World Cup . But Italy would never have met Brazil in the final were it not for Baggio ' s performances against Nigeria in the second phase and Spain in the quarterfinals .

With 27 goals over 55 caps , Baggio is widely recognized as a true football artist .
