Despite a bitter night because of the final result, there was a great satisfaction for the Club as Matteo Ruggeri, a product of the Nerazzurri youth sector, made his official debut in the first team in the match against Liverpool.
Born in 2002 in Zogno, a village in Bergamo, Matteo turned 18 on the 11th of July and has been wearing the Nerazzurri shirt since 2011, when he was 9. Since then, he has come through the youth academy until he fulfilled the dream of every kid who starts kicking a ball: to get to play a UEFA Champions League match. And it happened against one of the strongest and most prestigious clubs in the entire football scene, replacing Mojica in the final minutes of the match. A moment that this guy from Bergamo will remember forever.
