The most influential players were experienced duo Ruud Gullit and Roberto Mancini combined with playmakers David Platt and Attilio Lombardo, with Sampdoria's strength lying in the offensive department. Nevertheless, the entire team was filled with internationally recognised players, even though the defence was nowhere close to the efficiency of league champions A.C. Milan.
