🇧🇷 Brazil are World Champions

The first World Cup Final decided by penalties was a drab, goalless affair — 120 minutes of football without a single goal. Brazil were organised and efficient rather than brilliant. Italy's Roberto Baggio, their talisman throughout the tournament, missed the decisive penalty, sending it over the bar. His dejected face — ponytail hanging, hands on knees — became the defining image of the tournament. Brazil won their fourth title. It was a deeply forgettable final redeemed only by that extraordinary shootout moment and Baggio's haunted expression.
