Napoli's Christian Maggio gets Azzurri debut

Napoli was celebrating last night after Christian Maggio became the club's first player in 16 years to wear an Azzurri jersey.

The winger made his debut in last night's 1-1 away draw with Greece, becoming the first player since Fernando De Napoli in 1992.

Maggio was naturally elated post-match: "It is a spectacular feeling and I am so happy this debut has at last come.

"I can only thank my teammates and the Coach. Everyone has made me feel very much at home."
