14 years ago Delneri’s Sampdoria reached the Champions League zone with Pazzini’s brace against a Roma team that lost the scudetto
The fans of Rome they certainly don’t forget it. This is a date etched in the memory of all Giallorossi fans, many Blucerchiati and some Inter fans. That match intertwined the destinies of 4 teams, clinging to those 3 points up for grabs in April 2010.
There Sampdoria in fact, coached by Delneri he was in 5th place and was competing for the fourth position, valid for the Champions League preliminaries, with a Palermo led by the historian Fabrizio Miccoli. Furthermore, in that match Roma were playing for first place, in fact Inter had provisionally overtaken the capital team with 4 days to go before the end of the championship.
That match would have sealed the Nerazzurri treble as the Giallorossi failed to regain the top spot and from there the Nerazzurri won every match. The race was decided Giampaolo Pazzini with a brace and Marco Storari with a series of incredible saves that allowed the Blucerchiati to reach the Champions League preliminaries, then lost against Werder Bremen.
