Unexpectedly Baggio started in the substitution bench in the game against Parma. The first half Inter Milan was lucky enough to keep the result 0-0. Vieri scored at the beginning of the second half, and Baggio came on in the 62nd minute. Inter couldn't extend the lead but then lost a controversial penalty kick during injury time, which allowed Crespo to equalize for the home team. Inter didn't lose this match should give all the credit to goalkeeper Peruzzi, who saved some very dangerous chances. Baggio played fairly well, he was tightly marked by Parma players, but still managed to find some space for work, his role was to assist Vieri.
Now Inter are 6 points behind league leader Lazio.

According to Inter official site, today's match Inter may play with Recoba-Vieri-Baggio. This will be surprising if really used, because using Recoba and Baggio at the same time is just like playing Del Piero and Baggio together, which is thought to be a duplication. But nothing is confirmed yet.

During the match against AS Roma, there was a banner at the San Siro Stadium saying "Who loves football, loves Roberto Baggio." Earlier when Inter travelled to Bologna, there was a banner saying "Baggio - we hate you." When talking about these, Roby said "after the banner I saw at Bologna, which to be honest struck me as strange, this was a great joy." Furthermore, he said "having to prove myself all over again in every match is something I accept, I'm not frightened by challenge. I shook Lippi by the hand because it was a match we were both keyed up for, knowing it could be the turning point in our league season. The important thing now isn't whether or not I get to play more, but the fact that we've won a great game against a great team." (Agence France-Press)
