Unione Calcio Sampdoria spent the 1994-95 season mired in the midfield, since its remarkable offensive play from the 1993-94 season failed to occur. Despite this, it came close to another European final, but stumbled atArsenal following penalties in the semi-finals. Following the end of the season, creative midfieldersDavid Platt,Attilio Lombardo andVladimir Jugović all left the club, bringing further uncertainty of the future direction of the club.
