After beating Inter Milan 3-1 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals and knocking out their opponents 4-2 on aggregate, Fiorentina have only one big game left for the season, the final of the 2002-03 European Champions Cup, scheduled for May 28!

However, Fiorentina will have to settle their final two Serie A games of the season before heading to Old Trafford for the Champions League final.

On May 17, in the 33rd round of Serie A, Fiorentina, who were away to Bergamo, was stubbornly blocked by the home team Atalanta. The youth team, which was fighting for relegation, played at a very high level in this game, forcing Fiorentina who were playing away to be very embarrassed, and even once dominated the score with Comandini's goal!

The reason why this game has come to this point is that Fiorentina are playing in the Champions League in midweek, and many players are not in form. But for Atalanta, who don't have a single star in the squad and don't have a single top talent in their squad, it is something they can be proud of to be able to perform at this level and lead Fiorentina at one point in the game.

In the end, thanks to a stoppage-time goal from substitute Vieri, Fiorentina and Atalanta shook hands and ended the game 1-1, returning from Bergamo with a draw.

And the Atalanta players, who fought for a full 90 minutes for a victory, but because of a carelessness in the final moments, the three points that were about to arrive turned into one point had to swallow the bitter fruit of their own hands. However, for these young Atalanta players, if they can learn from it, the draw is not entirely bad. After all, no matter which player they are, they will experience some setbacks in their development, and only those who learn from them and don't fall in the same place three times or twice will have the possibility of becoming stars.

So, if Atalanta's players can get something out of it, rather than putting the game behind them after a moment of frustration, it will be a big benefit to their future.

Looking at Fiorentina's side, the team doesn't seem to care much about the result of this game and Atalanta. Not only did Heynckes not criticize the players for falling behind for a long time in the game during the post-match team meeting, but even took the initiative to give the players a day off after returning to Fiorentina to give them time to recover their fitness and fitness. There was no punitive cancellation of the post-game leave when the team was deflated by an opponent of Atalanta's calibre, as was the case in the past.

The reason for this situation is that, on the one hand, Fiorentina has won the championship in advance, and at this time, whether it is won or lost, it will not affect the overall situation, and Heynckes naturally does not need to make a big deal about it; On the other hand, because Fiorentina's match was not played at the Stadio Frankie, it was difficult for players who had worked hard all season to refresh themselves in such an innocuous game. The most important thing is that the goals set at the beginning of the season have now been largely achieved, not only is the league title returned to Fiorentina after a four-year loss, but also successfully reached the Champions League final in the first year after the rebuild, which is extremely satisfying for the whole of Fiorentina, and Heynckes naturally does not want to be too demanding of the players.

In fact, what the German coach wants most now is that the players can adjust their form for this crucial Champions League final in half a month, instead of exerting too much energy on these two inconsequential league games. After all, the value of a Big Ear Cup is much more important than two face-saving matches.

In this way, Fiorentina, who are fully preparing for the Champions League final, ushered in the final match of the 02-03 Serie A season on May 24. This time, the Purple Lily's opponent is a Brescia team led by veterans such as Pep Guardiola and De Huye.

With a Champions League final to play four days away, Heynckes did not field his strongest squad in the league finale. Zivo, Gambellini, Sun Jihai and other substitutes were all in the starting line-up for this game against Brescia, Albertini and Deco combined in midfield, the forward trident was a combination of Di Natale, Diego Milito and Cristiano Ronaldo, and the starting goalkeeper was replaced by Guadalben, who has barely seen a few times...... Heynckes' seriousness about this game is evident.

On the other hand, Brescia, although this team announced the success of relegation early under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, they did not go to Kuma because of this, but insisted on playing every game under the leadership of the old coach Mazzoni, which can be called a model for all Serie A teams. As such, Brescia are taking this final league game very seriously, and they will be hoping to beat Fiorentina in this game and use a win as the perfect summary of the season.

De Huye, in particular, the Dutch goalkeeper who almost put himself on the bench under Buffon's pressure is keen to prove himself in front of his former club and let Heynckes know that he also has what it takes to be a regular player. The likes of Caracciolo and Matuzaren are also hoping to make a name for themselves in this game and attract more teams to take notice of them, so that they can play in more competitive and financially strong clubs.

However, even if Fiorentina field a starting lineup dominated by substitutes and rotation players, the strength of the Purple Lily is not something that a team of Brescia's caliber can handle. What's more, Zivo and Albertini, who started the game, still took this game very seriously, and did not voluntarily give up the game or surrender because of Heynckes' move to retain his strength.

So, despite Brescia's organisation at both ends of the pitch and the lack of low-level mistakes in the game under Pep Guardiola's organisation, Fiorentina managed to win with a tight defensive system and superior individual ability. With goals from Diego Milito and Di Natale, Fiorentina finally ended the 02-03 season with a 2-0 victory!
