"Competition...... It's over! In the end, it was Florence from Italy who laughed Zuihou! With goals from Redondo, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, Fiorentina won 3-1 against homegrown Borussia Dortmund and won the 1996-97 season! They became the ninth team to defend the Champions League after Real Madrid (1956-1960), Benfica (1961-1962), Inter Milan (1964-1965), Ajax (1971-1973), Bayern Munich (1974-1976), Liverpool (1977-1978), Nottingham Forest (1979-1980) and AC Milan (1989-1990). At the same time, Fiorentina is also the first team to successfully defend the European Champions League since the Champions League was restructured in 1992! Prior to this, a powerful team such as AC Milan had only completed the feat of reaching the Champions League final for three consecutive years, but Capello's team that swept Europe failed to complete the great feat of defending the Champions League during that time! They lost to Marseille in the final in 1993 and Ajax Juniors in 1995 under Louis van Gaal. ”

"Fiorentina became the first team to defend the Champions League after the restructuring! Such a result is an incredible miracle for Fiorentina, who were sadly relegated from Serie A four years ago and only had the opportunity to participate in the Champions Cup for more than two decades two years ago! ”

Rao was gleefully commentating in the broadcast room, and at this time he was extremely excited that Fiorentina would successfully defend the Champions League. Because in the other two cups of the three major European cups, the teams from Serie A failed to laugh Zuihou.

Inter Milan reached the final of the UEFA Cup, but they lost to Germany's Schalke 04 in the final, and the acting Nerazzurri boss Castellini announced in his post-match press conference that he would step down as Inter Milan manager after a league match in Zuihou.

Not to mention the European Cup Winners' Cup, Parma and Atalanta, two teams from Serie A, have had a humiliating performance in this season's Cup Winners' Cup, with the defending champions being knocked out in the first round by Austria's Graz, who survived the first round but they met the mighty Barcelona in the second round, and Atalanta was out of the tournament after a two-way draw.

The Italian team, which had been calling for wind and rain in the European arena in the past few years, was left with only Fiorentina this season, which made fans who are used to Serie A teams dominating Europe feel very unhappy.

And this Champions Cup final can be said to be a place where Italian football can compete for championship glory in the European arena this season! Therefore, all Serie A fans put Zuihou's hopes on Fiorentina!

And Fiorentina also lived up to expectations, successfully completing the great feat of defending the Champions Cup and winning the championship trophy!

UEFA President Johansson invited two big names to watch the game, namely the current Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. At the same time, Prodi and Cole were also the guests of honor after the final.

The old Swedish man's small abacus played very well, no matter which team won the championship, these two big names could come to the stage to personally present awards to the players of Dortmund and Fiorentina, which also invisibly enhanced the influence of the Champions Cup.

At this moment, Prodi was very happy to applaud Fiorentina in the box, after all, it was the Serie A team that won the final, and as the Italian prime minister, he naturally had a bright face.

Meanwhile, on the pitch, Capello was shaking hands with Heathfield, and Riddle, who scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund in the game, was weeping sadly on the pitch with his team-mates. After all, how many times does a player have the experience of playing in a Champions League final in his lifetime? How many times can you become a winner of Zuihou?

The Fiorentina players were running around the pitch to celebrate like crazy, much to the disappointment of the Fiorentina staff, whose main task now was to get the players back to the dressing room.

"Hey! Stefan! You guys don't run around all over the ground anymore! Hurry up to the locker room and clean yourself up! At the very least, you should simply tidy up and put on the commemorative T-shirt that the club made for this final! "Nelson chased Effenberg desperately on the court, tired himself from a stinky sweat, but he didn't even catch a hair.

And Nelson's words were exchanged for only a grimace from Effenberg and a sentence that made him angry: "Don't! ”

Zuihou, it had to be the coach Capello himself, his loud roar made these Fiorentina players who were celebrating on the pitch suddenly come back to their senses, and then under the guidance of the club staff who came with the team, obediently returned to the dressing room to shower, change clothes, and prepare for the upcoming award ceremony.

After a nervous rush of the stadium staff, a simple podium was quickly set up in the center of the field, and the Dortmund and Fiorentina players who had sorted out their emotions were already standing in line under the guidance of the staff, waiting for the moment to receive the award.

In the cheers and anticipation of the Florentina fans, the award ceremony of this Champions Cup officially began!

The first to take the stage to accept the award was the runner-up Borussia Dortmund, who quickly took the silver medal from Kohl's hands and hurried into the players' tunnel, not wanting to watch their opponents celebrate the championship in this sad place.

Next, it's time for Florence, which is ready to receive the winner's medal and trophy.

Captain Batistuta led the way, and the Fiorentina players, wearing T-shirts to commemorate their Champions League victory, walked up in turn to receive their gold medal from Prodi.

Prodi was also smiling, and after receiving the medal from Johansson, he presented the gold medals to the Fiorentina players in turn, and occasionally shook hands with some people as a sign of encouragement.

After presenting the gold medal, Capello and Batistuta took the UEFA Champions League trophy from UEFA President Johansson and lifted it high!

The cheers of the Florentina fans swept through the Olympic Stadium in Munich, swept through Italy, and swept through Europe!

This was followed by a more than hour-long celebration ceremony, with the Fiorentina players descending the podium in the centre of the stadium around the trophy, and Barty and Effenberg carrying the trophy around the pitch to show all Fiorentina fans the second Champions League trophy in the club's history!

The Fiorentina players then placed the trophy on the turf and rushed to the trophy from all directions, playing gliding on the pitch......

All Florentines are celebrating this great moment!
