Fabio Quagliarella colored Italian football for more than two decades. We are still in the last century when he debuted for Torino.
This is followed by a laundry list of clubs, for which he was almost all extremely accurate: Udinese, Napoli, Juventus and especially Sampdoria.
Quagliarella has played at the latter club since 2016. At 33 he was already in the fall of his career, but it would be some of his most productive years.
Injuries prevented Quagliarella from playing a more important role for Samp this season. It is therefore not entirely coincidental that the club from Genoa is relegated just now.
In what may have been his last home match and possibly his last match as a professional, Quagliarella was taken off in the 83rd minute. Immediately the tears followed, but also the many congratulations, even a group hug. The stadium sang loudly about its captain.
The standing ovation lasted 3 minutes. The story of the goalkeeper from Naples seems to have been written after 238 goals.
