The club also captured Antonio Cassano from Real Madrid, with the notorious troublemaker settling in well at Sampdoria, helping the club to European qualification. The season also saw the first Serie A derbies between Sampdoria and Genoa since 1995, with Sampdoria winning the second one with 1-0, following a goalless draw in the beginning of the league campaign.
