Napoli 2007‑08: The Azzurri Revival in Subbuteo Scale

ree

The 2007‑08 campaign marked the rebirth of modern SSC Napoli: the club’s first season back in Serie A after re‑foundation, an 8th‑place finish, Intertoto qualification and the birth of the iconic Lavezzi–Hamšík partnership. This article explains why the Subbuteo La Leggenda edition of the Partenopei is a must‑have for every collector.


1. Historical Context

Following bankruptcy in 2004, the club was reborn as “Napoli Soccer” and achieved back‑to‑back promotions: Serie C1 (2005‑06) and Serie B (2006‑07). In 2007‑08 Napoli returned to Serie A, finishing 8th with 50 points and earning a spot in the 2008 Intertoto Cup.


2. New Idols Arrive

  • Ezequiel Lavezzi – debuted in August 2007, finishing the season with 11 goals in all competitions.

  • Marek Hamšík – scored 9 league goals, immediately becoming the club’s top Serie A scorer.

Together with Gargano and Domizzi, they formed the core that electrified the 59 000‑strong crowds at the Stadio San Paolo (now Diego Armando Maradona).
