CorSport – Napoli, There Are Some Complete Debutants in the Champions League: Buongiorno and Savic Above All

There is a Napoli side that knows the Champions League well, thanks to a good number of matches and participations, and others who know it less. Starting with the absolute debutants: first time for Milinkovic-Savic, Buongiorno, Vergara, Ferrante, and Ambrosino. Vanja is an experienced goalkeeper, boasting 19 appearances with the Serbian national team and having even played in the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, but the most prestigious of European competitions was only a dream for him during his time at United. A very brief stint in 2015: he was signed, but due to bureaucratic issues related to his work permit, he had to give up on England. Since then, he has only experienced the Europa League with Standard Liège, in the 2019-2020 season. Buongiorno is a national team player and even took part in the Euro 2024 squad, though without making his debut, but in all his years at Torino, he has never played in international cups: he will start with the Champions League, the main stage. Lucca participated with Ajax in 2022-23 but never came on. Then, the three youngsters in the squad: Ambrosino (22 years old) and Vergara (20) have just debuted in Serie A, while young goalkeeper Ferrante, 19 years old, plays in the Primavera and replaces Contini.
