Roberto Baggio is the subject of a new Netflix film entitled, Il Divin Codino, or, The Divine Ponytail.
Not a documentary, the film is instead a dramatisation of the Italian legend's life, from his childhood in the northern Italian town of Coldogno, through to his magical exploits in the 1990 and 1994 World Cups.
Il Divin Codino will focus on his controversial transfer from Fiorentina to Juventus in the summer of 1990, and his Balon D'Or winning exploits of the mid-90's.
