Former Ballon d’Or winner Roberto Baggio sent shockwaves through the social media world when he posted an edited image of himself on Instagram, humorously suggesting his involvement in the upcoming season of the popular Netflix series ‘Narcos.’ Baggio, who recently joined Instagram with the assistance of his daughter Valentina, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, having graced the pitches for legendary clubs like Fiorentina, Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan, as well as the Italian national team. During his illustrious playing career, Baggio’s remarkable performances earned him the prestigious Ballon d’Or award in 1993 while playing for Juventus. He also achieved third place in the following year’s Ballon d’Or rankings, trailing only Hristo Stoichkov and the eventual winner, Romario. Earlier this week, Baggio surprised his fans by sharing an edited photograph of himself holding a portrait that had also been digitally altered. In both the photo and the portrait, Baggio appears noticeably heavier and sports longer hair, akin to his appearance during the peak of his footballing career. The humorous caption accompanying the image reads ‘Coming up soon… @narcos 4,’ followed by a crying-with-laughter emoji. Alongside the edited image, Baggio also shared the original unedited photograph, eliciting laughter and amusement from his followers. One fan playfully remarked that he resembled ‘Baggio plus,’ while another jokingly expressed momentary concern. Baggio bid farewell to professional football in 2004, having secured Serie A titles with both Juventus and AC Milan, along with the 1993 UEFA Cup. He was an integral member of the Italian squad that reached the final of the 1994 World Cup, although he unfortunately missed a crucial penalty in the shootout that ultimately handed victory to Brazil. The 57-year-old Baggio remains an iconic figure in the world of football, and his recent humorous Instagram post serves as a testament to his enduring popularity and lighthearted spirit.
