2008–09 Genoa C.F.C. season
Genoa C.F.C. enjoyed its best season in recent history and finished fifth in Serie A. Topscorer Diego Milito hit the back of the net 24 times, and earned a move to Inter prior to the 2009-10 season. The ex-player and 29-year-old Argentinian Milito, arrived from relegated Spanish side Real Zaragoza, and the returnee performed his best season yet. Thanks to his goals and Thiago Motta's midfield display, Genoa finished in the top 5, and nearly pipped Fiorentina to the final Champions League spot. Motta was also sold to Inter in the summer, which left a huge fold in the Genoa squad.

gollark: Refreshing the AP is 300KB.
gollark: And fewer images.
gollark: Like no sickness, so people would check less.
gollark: Anyway, if sickness were due to bandwidth, there would be other, better-at-reducing-bandwidth things.
