For me definitely Baggio. Poor guy was lynched for it and if I’m not misremembering, never played for the national team again (which is crazy, he was so good).

He missed euro1996 because he had a fight with Sacchi, but then he returns to play until 1998 wc. Then he had 3-4 caps until he retired (2004). (in 2002, Trapattoni chose not to call him for 2002 wc; so did Zoff in 2000 european cup)
That’s not the reason. Baggio was always mistreated by National Team coaches. He was too much of a star, and Italy favours mediocrity over that. How many true stars has Italy ever had? Even all-time greats like Maldini and Buffon always kept a much lower profile than Baggio.

Ok, thanks!
