A glamorous evening at the ’21 House of Stories’ in the Navigli district served as the backdrop for Sky Sport’s presentation of the upcoming European cup season. The event gathered the elite of Italian football, including Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo, Giorgio Chiellini, and Gianluca Zambrotta.
The Sky Sports team of journalists and commentators, positioned before the original Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League trophies, presented a world-class roster of former stars. The lineup featured coaches Fabio Capello and Luca Gotti; goalkeepers Walter Zenga, Luca Marchegiani, and Nando Orsi; defenders Giuseppe Bergomi, Alessandro Costacurta, Lorenzo Minotti, Faouzi Ghoulam, and Paolo Gobbi; midfielders Riccardo Montolivo and Giancarlo Marocchi; and a forward line of Paolo Di Canio and Zvonimir Boban supplying passes to Alessandro Del Piero, Fabio Quagliarella, Michele Padovano, and Aldo Serena.
“It must be tiring to lift these cups 37 times,” joked Sky CEO Andrea Duilio, referencing the number of continental trophies won by the broadcaster’s punditry team. “We have a strong Sky team and very competitive Italian clubs. It is a great privilege and honor to kick off this European cup season.” The evening was set to the backdrop of Claudio Baglioni’s song ‘La vita è adesso’ (Life is Now).
