Wembley tiene una gran deuda con Roberto Mancini. Allí, un 20 de mayo de 1992, el entonces delantero y capitán de la Sampdoria cayó derrotado por el Barça en la final de la Copa de Europa (0-1) con el célebre gol de falta de Ronald Koeman en la prórroga. Hoy el ahora técnico espera alcanzar la gloria en el templo londinense llevando a la selección italiana a ganar la Eurocopa ante la anfitriona Inglaterra.

LONDON: When Roberto Mancini leads out Italy for Sunday’s Euro 2020 final at Wembley with his cherished friend Gianluca Vialli in close proximity, both men will inevitably think back to their most crushing disappointment as players on the same ground.
The two were born just a few months apart and they were known as ‘I gemelli del gol’, the goal twins, during eight glorious years together at Sampdoria.
Mancini and Vialli played together in a Samp side that won the Cup Winners’ Cup and lifted the Coppa Italia trophy three times before their crowning glory, the Scudetto in 1991, the club’s only Serie A title to this day.
