On May 1 each "viola’s" supporter had to say goodbye to the dreamt Uefa Cup finals, with a dramatic defeat of Fiorentina against Glasgow Rangers in the Artemio Franchi stadium.
After 210 minutes of agony, finished in a tie, Fiorentina suffered a humiliating 4-2 on penalties.
"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." This is what Prandelli, the Fiorentina coach, said after the match.
Nevertheless, Fiorentina has a lot to do this season because they have to fight for the fourth place to qualify for the Champions League. Fiorentina has only a few points more than Milan.
About the game against the Rangers, the UEFA president Platini praised the players of
Fiorentina whit the coach for their sportsmanship, respect and hospitality: this because despite the Rangers passed the semi-finals, the club showed outstanding hospitality to thousands of Rangers supporters, including a lot of them without tickets.
