The Ivorian wore a black shirt and sunglasses to match his shaved head and beaming smile.

And his “idol” – also in sunglasses – was clearly happy to be hanging out with the 2012 Champions League winner.

He put his arm around Drogba’s shoulders in a black blazer that matched his gray curly hair and goatee.

And the 55-year-old completed the look with a No18 necklace.

However, this former Ballon d’Or winner is much more associated with wearing the No. 10 and his luscious long locks on the biggest stage of them all.

In his 643 games he scored 291 goals for clubs such as Fiorentina, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus.

The attacker won the Serie A trophy twice, as well as the Coppa Italia and Uefa Cup twice.

On the international stage, his return has been an impressive 27 goals in 56 senior caps for Italy.

These included seven goals at the World Cup, four of which came when Italy reached the 1994 final.

However, it was his missed penalty in the shoot-out that secured Brazil victory in the final.

To date, the former footballer admits he hasn’t forgotten the moment he went skiing in Italy’s dreams.

He said in 2022: “I will never forget it. That was a childhood dream come true and then it ended in the most absurd way and I never got over it.

“People have always shown me great love and affection, they understood my suffering, but I am very demanding with myself.

“I’ve had a thousand opportunities to miss a penalty in my career, that was the one I really couldn’t miss.”

The mystery footballer is, of course… Roberto Baggio.

Baggio ditched the iconic long hair a while ago – and shocked fans with his new look as he landed in Qatar ahead of the World Cup final.

But he’s still a popular figure in football, at home in Italy and around the world.

Baggio retired in 2004 and has spent time as technical director of Italian football alongside his various charity work.

Outside of football, he has three children with his wife Andreina Fabbi, whom he married in 1989.
