Vicario achieves Tottenham milestone: ‘A day I will not forget’ | OneFootball

Italy international Guglielmo Vicario captained Tottenham for the first time in a 3-0 win over Qarabag FK last night: ‘I day I will never forget.’

Italian goalkeeper Vicario captained Tottenham for the first time on Thursday night, contributing to a 3-0 win over Qarabag FK in the first Europa League game of the season.

“A day that I will not forget. The first one as captain, leading this great club at home, in a European cup and, more importantly, getting the 3 points. Proud,” Vicario wrote on Instagram.

“This one is for those fans that are always by our side no matter what.”

Vicario, 27, has kept two clean sheets in six appearances across all competitions with Tottenham this season, conceding five goals.

A former Empoli and Cagliari goalkeeper, last night’s game also marked Vicario’s debut in a European competition.

The Italian goalkeeper has made two appearances with the Azzurri and recently spoke about the national team’s improvements in games against France and Israel.

Vicario suggested that both the team and coach Luciano Spalletti understood their errors after a disappointing EURO 2024 elimination, leading to back-to-back victories in Nations League games in September.

Vicario joined Tottenham from Empoli in a €18.5m deal in 2023, and his contract in North London runs out in June 2028.
