Sampdoria goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi was still coming to grips with their Coppa Italia penalty shootout heartbreak this week.

"I thought there were signs of an evening to remember," the 'keeper told Sportmediaset.

"It seems promising when you concede and nearly let another one in but instead you equalise and refuse to lose control.

"It seemed like it was the right night. It will be really tough to digest because it was a good Final and we only lost out in the lottery of a penalty contest. We were one step away from taking the trophy home."
