Wembley 1992. Il Doria e l’ultima coppa dei Campioni

London, 20 May 1992: Wembley Stadium plays the last final of the Members’ Cup Champions, before it becomes Champions League forever. In front of Sampdoria of president Mantovani and the twins of the Vialli-Mancini goal against Barcelona of the Dutch Ronald Koeman and coach Johan Cruijff. Thirty years after that match, a sports journalist and Dorian fan is on the trail of the European adventure of the blucerchiati: the result is a travel report, which recomposes (with a clear and usable style) the end of football ‘of the past’ and the beginning of football as a ‘business’.’Sampdoria was original. When I met Mantovani (the President), he told me that he had a dream, to challenge the status quo, the football establishment, his desire to show that a young team like Samp could beat the big ones’. (Gianluca Vialli, in ‘Wembley 1992’).
