Description
Socrates died poisoned, Nietzche died hallucinating … Baggio … he died standing.
On 17 July 1994, in front of 94,000 people at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and a television audience of one billion, Roberto Baggio — the best player in the world at the time — stepped up to take the penalty that would decide the World Cup Final against Brazil. He missed.
The ball sailed over the bar. He stood there, head bowed, hands on hips, alone in the centre of a massive stadium while celebrations happened around him. He did not fall. He did not run. He stood for what felt like an eternity – 8 MINUTES of crippling despair frozen in time.
The ‘Man Who Died Standing’ is a premium semi-glossy paper print sports history wall art in IQ Art’s Iconic Sports Moments series commemorating Roberto Baggio’s iconic missed penalty in the 1994 FIFA World Cup Final.
