MEMORABLE MOMENT: Sampdoria-Milan 0-3. Season 1994/1995.
Riding high from their qualification to the semi-finals of the Champions League just four days prior, the Rossoneri swept aside Sampdoria at the Marassi. Marco Simone opened the scoring after just 11 minutes following some great work from the genius Savicevic. In the second-half, Capello’s men sealed victory courtesy of Demetrio Albertini who netted twice. His first was a curling free-kick and his second from the penalty spot on 90 minutes.
