Aldo Serena (born in Montebelluna on 25 June1960) is an Italian former footballer. He played for the Italy national football team in the 1986 FIFA World Cup and the 1990 FIFA World Cup. In total he earned 24 caps and scored 5 goals for Italy. In Italia '90 Serena scored for Italy on his 30th birthday in a 2-0 win over Uruguay but left the pitch in tears when he missed a crucial spot kick in the semi-final against Argentina, a game the home nation lost on penalties. Serena has always stated that he did not want to take a penalty in the shootout however as noone else came forward. Vicini(Italy's manager at the time) had no choice but to include him and Serena had to take the final penalty kick.
He played for the following clubs: Montebelluna, Inter Milan, Como Calcio 1907, A.S. Bari, A.C. Milan, Juventus F.C. and Torino F.C.. He enjoyed his best with Inter Milan, in 1988/89, when he won the Scudetto and was crowned top scorer of the league, scoring 22 goals. After his move to Milan his reputation as an Inter legend was somewhat tarnished. This was shown recently when Serena's name was booed by some of Inter's Ultras supporters when announced he was to be part of an Inter Legends gathering after the final game of the 2006/2007 league trophy presentation.
