Although Real Madrid players who were unwilling to be blocked outside the Champions League finals were pressed to participate in the offense in the last few minutes, Fiorentina used defense to make Real Madrid players return in vain again and again.
In fact, after Panucci left the field due to cramps, Savio and Zieg were stared together by Thomassi and Zambrota, who came on as substitutes, Real Madrid's offense basically became unthreatening. Morientes is a first-class forward, but his strength is to grab points. It is impossible to fight the entire defense line alone like Ronaldo; Raul's situation is similar. As a top shadow striker, he is not good at organizing, and breakthroughs are only at the upper and middle level. Facing the middle defense line composed of Nesta and Ferrara, he lacks midfield support and does not have many ways to reverse the defeat.
Therefore, Real Madrid's offensive routine at this time mainly depends on the sidelines. The role of the players in the middle is to choose the right time to pass the ball to the sidelines, and then insert it to complete the shot.
Therefore, in the next few minutes, Real Madrid, whose wings were completely strangled by Florence, basically did not create any scoring opportunities, and could only wait for the upcoming trial result.
When Morientes kicked the ball high across the crossbar under Nesta's defense, the referee Frisk blew the whistle to the end of the game, and the entire Frankie Stadium instantly turned into a sea of joy!
While hearing the final whistle, Real Madrid and Fiorentine players sat down on the turf and gasped heavily. In this game, no matter which side of the players were trying their last strength, so they didn't have the extra energy to walk off the stadium now.
However, the Fiorentine players are obviously happier. After all, although the whole game was very difficult, they still got a satisfactory result; in contrast, Real Madrid was a bit tragic, Raul, Morientes and others were crying and their eyes were red. They were saddened by falling outside the finals.
In this way, Fiorentina defeated La Liga giants Real Madrid in the second leg of the semi-finals with a score of 6-3, and at the same time completed a miraculous reversal with a total score of 7-6, reaching the Champions League final for the third consecutive year!
Fiorentina reversed Real Madrid at home, and reached the final of the Champions League three times in a row, all the fans who supported Fiorentina were excited. They spontaneously rushed to the streets to celebrate this magical reversal all night long!
At the same time, most European media are promoting this victory in Fiorentina. On the one hand, it is because the two teams can play a huge score of 6-3 in the Champions League semi-finals, which is a very gimmick in itself, and the media naturally cannot miss this opportunity to attract people's attention.
On the other hand, it is because Fiorentina's victory was indeed hard-won: it lost 1-3 in the first round. Although it once won a four-to-one lead in this game, it was turned into three-to-four by the one-round outbreak of Seidorf... This extremely unfavorable situation is not something that any team can survive. If it were some teams with insufficient willpower, they might have surrendered long ago.
However, the Fiorentine player scored two goals in the last twenty minutes, and also scored Real Madrid in a clean sheet, killing the Spanish giants at the gate of the Champions League final!
With two major elements that attract attention, these media have to spare no effort and are willing to provide Florence with free publicity around the world.
However, Zhuang Mingge himself only watches the excitement of these things. After all, at this stage of the season, all the club's work has to put the team and players in the most important position, so naturally there is no time to deal with the endless harassment of the media reporters or shoot commercials.
It has to be said that this fierce battle with Real Madrid greatly damaged Fiorentina's vitality. After all, almost all the Fiorentine players who played the game maintained a high level of concentration during the game, and the physical and mental consumption was naturally very large... Not to mention, even physical superman like Robert Carlos had slight cramps after the game, and the intensity of this game can be imagined.
In this way, Fiorentina, who had exhausted his energy in the second leg of the semi-finals, met his last opponent in the league this season, AC Milan, in the league final three days later.
Before this round of game started, all the suspense of the Serie A League had basically been settled: Fiorentina, which has been advancing all the way, won the league championship three rounds in advance, Juventus and Inter Milan, four points behind the Zebras, won the league runner-up and third place respectively. These two teams have respectively secured a place in the Champions League next season, while Udinese, Parma and Roma's four teams were fighting for the last Champions League qualification.
Needless to say, the qualification of the League Cup is worthy of the best European points in the UEFA standings in Serie A. Next season, Serie A will be able to send three teams to participate in the League Cup. Therefore, after this round of league ends, the three unlucky guys who fail among the four teams competing for the last UEFA Champions League qualification will be qualified for the League Cup.
In terms of relegation battles, there have been considerable deviations from history in the Serie A this season: Empoli, who lost the meritorious coach Spalletti, and Napoli, who has been in the last two places in the standings. These two clubs have now confirmed their early relegation; the last place to be directly relegated will be selected among the three teams, Atlanta, Brescia and Lecce.
Of course, the team ranked fourth from the bottom in the end cannot breathe a sigh of relief, because they have to play a relegation playoff with a Serie B team...
Therefore, although the last round of the game has not started, the result of this game has no substantial significance for the two teams, Fiorentina and AC Milan: Zi Lily, who won the championship in advance, just want to end the game quickly and seize the time to recover her physical fitness and deal with the next two finals of the Italian Cup and the Champions League; all four of them are gone this season, and there is no hope to compete for a ticket to the European game next season, so the Ross and Blacks are also undesirable for this game.
In the end, Fiorentina, who was on the bench, lost 2-3 to AC Milan in the final match of the league, ending the journey of the 1997-98 Serie A!
