The dream of UEFA cup final, which could give Fiorentina the first European Cup, is nuanced in a moment on the evening of May 1st at the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence.
The "Viola", although they deserved to win the game for the opportunities created and good game of the team, were exceeded on penalties 4-2 by Rengers Glasgow (in the first game(l'andata) the score had remained on 0-0).
So the Rengers will play the final with the Zenit St Petersburg, which has eliminated in the semifinals Bayern Monaco.
"The lads have shown they have a great spirit and this bitterness will pass...We deserved to get to the final, in two games we lacked a bit of luck",Cesare Prandelli, Fiorentina coach, told reporters.
But the season of Viola is not yet over: there is to defend the fourth place, which allows the passage into the Champions League in next football season, from attacks of AC Milan.
Concerning the semifinal with Rengers, the president of UEFA Michel Platini has praised the players of Fiorentina for their sportsmanship and the city of Florence for its hospitality.
Indeed, the Florentine club and the city of Florence have sold many tickets to Scottish guests, have provided food, entertainment and public viewing of the match available outside the Artemio Franchi stadium.
