Match overview
A tense Paris quarter-final finished goalless after 120 minutes, Barthez denying Baggio in extra-time. France ultimately prevailed 4-3 on penalties when Luigi Di Biagio struck the crossbar, sending the hosts into a semi-final with Croatia while Italy’s wait for a major title continued.
Trivia
The shoot-out featured future managerial icons: Zidane, Henry, Baggio and Maldini all took spot-kicks. Di Biagio’s miss dented Italian confidence in penalties, a stigma only lifted eight years later when they won the 2006 World Cup final in Berlin.
