When Mutu pushed the goal, Fiorentina broke through the Barcelona gate for the third time in this game, the suspense of this game was gone, it can be said that the home team lost by three goals, and if Barcelona wants to qualify, the opportunity can only exist on paper.

In the next game, Barcelona seemed to have no fighting spirit, even Messi made a few mistakes because of frustration, Rijkaard saw this, and immediately made substitution adjustments, he has to prepare for the next game, not the Champions League, in fact, he doesn't think Barcelona still has a chance, he has to prepare for the league, there are twelve rounds left in the league, eight points behind the leader Real Madrid, and it is not an irreversible number.

The final score was fixed at 3-0 and Fiorentina unexpectedly claimed a win away from home.

Speaking at a press conference after the game, Prandelli praised every Fiorentina player: "They played very well, they were very tenacious, the result of this game was a result of their hard work, I am very proud of my players! ”

When asked by a Catalan journalist about Florence's passive defensive tactics in this game, Prandelli looked dismissive: "Passive defense!? Didn't we score three goals in this game? I don't know what your criteria are for judging passive defense, but anyone who has seen the results knows that we are the winners today, both in terms of the outcome of the game and the course of the game! ”

Rijkaard also said in a subsequent interview: "Fiorentina chose the right tactics, their victory was deserved, we didn't play well today, we missed a few chances, it was enough to kill, but we still have a chance, it's a two-legged battle, less than a moment of zuihou, what the result is, no one knows!" ”

Rijkaard doesn't admit defeat, but everyone knows it, and it's just lip service!

Fiorentina flew back to Fiorentina on the day of the match, and despite arriving late at night, they were warmly welcomed by the fans.

It was already a big surprise to qualify from the group, but I didn't expect Fiorentina to be able to defeat the mighty Barcelona.

Facing the excited Fiorentina fans, Digan also said in person at the airport: "Everything is not the end now, you can have greater expectations for Fiorentina!" ”

Back in the league, away to Siena, Prandelli once again sent a substitute lineup, but even if it is a substitute lineup, the current Fiorentina is not something Siena can compete with, in the second half, two headers from Ujfarusi and Cavinaghi helped Fiorentina get three points.

Even the substitutes were able to win comfortably, and with eleven rounds remaining, there may be no one left to stop Fiorentina from lifting their third league trophy since their inception.

Even Milan star Sacchi said in an interview: "It's hard for anyone to stop Fiorentina now, they're crazy this season, look at their players, I think any manager will be envious, I don't know how Fiorentina did it, how could they gather so many excellent players under the banner of the purple lily, but these don't need to be discussed anymore, maybe I say so, some people will be unconvinced, but Fiorentina is about to become the new hegemon of Italian football, There is no doubt about it! ”

People didn't expect Sacchi to give Fiorentina such a high rating, but looking at their results this season, except for the loss to Palermo, the rest of the games, Fiorentina is unbelievably unbeaten, and has also created an eighteen consecutive winning streak.

After the match against Siena, Fiorentina will be at home again, preparing for the second leg of the Champions League knockout round against Barcelona.

In the first leg, Fiorentina 3:0 away to the La Liga giants, although Barcelona refused to admit defeat, but everyone knows that there is no suspense in this game, Fiorentina at home is unwilling to lose to Barcelona by more than three goals.

What's more, if Fiorentina also showed the same tactics at home as they did away from home, it would be up to the box whether Barcelona could score or not.

But when the game really started, people were surprised to find that Fiorentina was not conservative at all in this game, and they started to attack Barcelona, which caught Barcelona off guard before the game.

Prandelli's purpose is clear, he wants to use this game to refute some people's opinions, and save some people from saying after the game that Fiorentina have achieved qualification by destroying the art of football.

Fiorentina's decision coincides with Digan, with three away goals in hand, and now Fiorentina also has the capital to let go of their hands and feet.

Deegan and Prandelli want to prove to the whole Shijie that Fiorentina can not only defend, but also attack sharply, even if the opponent is the mighty Barcelona, they are still fearless and attack you. Mother. Target!

In the seventh minute of the game, Deegan scored the third goal of the two-legged game through a set-piece and a header.

After the goal, Deegan threw it at the camera and lifted his shirt to reveal a line on his shirt: Try our bucket formation!

Seeing this scene, the reporters in the stands couldn't help but change color slightly, they were the ones who vigorously criticized Fiorentina's passive defense at the beginning, and now Digan's goal is as if it was smashed on their heads, hot and painful.

With an aggregate score of 4:0 behind, Barcelona can be said to have reached the edge of the cliff, a gust of wind can blow them down, fall to pieces, and the La Liga giants, who have no way out, also launched a counterattack.

In the fifteenth minute, Messi broke through Pascual's defence and crossed the middle, and Eto'o arrived in time to shoot past Frei.

Before the end of the first half, Henry dribbled the ball on the side, suddenly cut inside, and a long-range shot from outside the penalty area caught Frei off guard, and he didn't even make a save, and could only watch the football drill into the corner.

At the beginning of the second half, Prandelli took the lead in making a substitution, replacing Cavinaghi with Mutu, but Barcelona were still in full swing.

In the 57th minute, Messi broke through to the penalty area and suddenly fell, the referee directly awarded a penalty, and the Fiorentina players collectively surrounded the referee to protest, not only failed to change the referee's decision, but also received a yellow card.

Samuel Eto'o hit to make the aggregate score 3-4, with Barcelona only one point behind, and for a while Barcelona saw the hope of equalising.

But just two minutes later, Barcelona's newly boosted morale was dealt a heavy blow, Fiorentina got a free kick opportunity in front, Digan directly hit the goal, Valdés touched the football, but there was no way to change the trajectory of the football, can only watch the football drill into the net.

Immediately afterwards, Prandelli replaced Marchena with Arteta and continued to strengthen the attack, and those neutral fans were blessed, on the pitch, the two sides played fiercely and the wonderful shots continued to appear.

When the game went on for more than 80 minutes, Barcelona still did not give up hope, but at the juncture, Degan completely killed the game with a burst shot from outside the penalty area.

The final score was 3:3, and Fiorentina eliminated Barcelona 6:3 over two legs and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

This result was probably not expected before the game, but when the game was over, everything became a reality.

After the game, the Stadio Vladhi turned into a sea of joy, and the fact that he was able to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League in his first season back in Europe was a satisfying result for Fiorentina fans.

But Deegan kept shouting at the fans inside the stadium: "This is not the end, this is not the end!" ”

Degan's meaning is clear, the status of the quarter-finals will not be a rope to bind Fiorentina to keep going, they are far from reaching the limit.

Messi, who lost, couldn't help crying bitterly when he got off the field, he was originally going to win, and he did a good job in this game, assisting a goal and creating a penalty, the performance of the young Argentine little flea deserves a word of praise.

But the final result was extremely cruel, Messi tried his best, but failed to get the victory he wanted.

Rijkaard also looked very frustrated at the post-match press conference: "This result is too cruel for us, we tried our best to score three goals, but the final result was very disappointing, the players played very well, especially Messi, he proved that he has the potential to be the best star on the planet, but this season is not his stage, he needs to continue to work hard to improve himself, as for me, the team's failure, is my responsibility, after the end of this season, I'll talk to the team about the future of the team and then we'll turn our attention to the league pitch, we're eight points behind Real Madrid, but it's obviously not a tough gap to catch up! ”

Rijkaard also wants to work hard to make a beautiful memory before leaving Barcelona, Barcelona do have a chance, they only have the league to play now, and Real Madrid still have the Champions League to distract.

But soon, Real Madrid will not need to be distracted by European competition, and at the same time, Roma will also face a challenge from Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, who lost 2-1 away in the first leg. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben joined the injured ailments, Robinho and Raul up front, with Salgado replacing suspended Sergio Ramos.

The biggest change for Roma was the return of centre-back Juan, with Spalletti opting for Siciño and Panucci on the bench out of two Real Madrid veterans. Pizarro was in poor physical condition, Aquilani was given the start, and the attacking line was all the main force, with Giuli and Vucinic on the bench.

Real Madrid have won their last five meetings at home to Italian teams in Europe, but their last defeat was to Roma. In the group stage of the 2002/2003 Champions League, Totti's first-half goal helped Roma win 1-0.

In the opening stages, both teams played steadily and did not allow their opponents to get a chance to get their feet.

Real Madrid had their first chance in the 17th minute, when Tadei fouled Robinho and Guti took a free-kick and Baptista hit the wall with a right-footed volley, but Doni saved to the left and blocked the right post.

Roma soon returned the favor when Aquilani split the ball after receiving Totti's breakthrough and hit the far post with a powerful right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area, shocking Casillas into a cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, Mancini Jr. took the ball on the left side and cut back to knock it back, and Aquilani fired a powerful low shot from outside the penalty area, which was blocked by Casillas with one hand.

Real Madrid played in the next time, still played in a hurry, in the 21st minute, Robinho picked up a pass on the right rib, De Rossi's header cleared but rubbed the ball into the left side of the penalty area, Baptista turned away from Mex's defense, and volleyed a left-footed volley slightly higher in front of the goal.

In the 25th minute, Mancini Jr. cut inside on the left side and was blocked by the defender on the line of the penalty area.

In the 28th minute, Siciño made a low cross from the right, and Sicineo scrambled in front of the goal and missed the left post.

In the 33rd minute, Robinho knocked back from the left, and Baptista's half-volley in front of goal was confiscated by Doni.

In the 38th minute, Roberto Mancini Jr. crossed back from the left and De Rossi fired wide of the near post from distance.

In first-half stoppage time, Roma had another chance to break the deadlock, Mancini Jr. took a corner, Aquilani rubbed the left side of the box to the back post, Mexes put the ball in the ball with an upside hook, but it was blown offside.

After the break, the two teams changed sides and three minutes into the second half, Aquilani fouled Baptista, who missed a good chance to score from 25 yards out on the left side with a free-kick that went over the wall and hit the near post to the crossbar.

In the 50th minute, Real Madrid's veteran Sicinho crossed from the right, Gago missed the tackle in front of the goal, and Perrotta's shot from a tight angle in front of the goal was blocked by Casillas.

In the 52nd minute, Baptista received a pass from Raul and a shot was again blocked by Juan.

In the 55th minute, Toneto fouled Gago, Guti took a free kick from the right, and Robinho won the ball in the box and his shot was blocked by Ciciño.

In the 58th minute, Ciciño crossed from the right and Perrotta's header went wide of the far post.

Guti then crossed low from the left and Diarra fired a powerful right-footed volley over the crossbar by Donito.

As the minutes ticked by, Real Madrid, who were trailing on aggregate, were a little impatient and had to score, and in the 62nd minute, Guti took a free-kick from the left, and Raul flicked his head in front of goal and went wide of the left post.

Real Madrid gradually increased the pace of the game and the attack became more and more fierce, but at this time Spalletti made a surprise substitution, replacing Mancini Jr. with Vucinic, his intention was very obvious, continue to strengthen the attack.

In the 68th minute, Totti picked up a pass on the left side, Tonetto quickly knocked back, Vucinic hit the crossbar with a left-footed volley in front of the field, and Real Madrid escaped!

Although he missed a chance, when the game reached the 71st minute, Real Madrid still suffered a heavy blow, Pepe blocked the bottom line and turned to get rid of Vucinic who was about to enter the penalty area, and accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off!

Pepe was sent off, Real Madrid's defensive loopholes were immediately exposed, Roma played more and less, but also seized the opportunity to attack, in the seventy-third minute, Toneto crossed from the left, Tadei grabbed in front of Gago, flew at the penalty spot and headed into the far corner, Real Madrid fell behind 1-3 on aggregate!

But only a minute later, Real Madrid saw hope again, Guti passed through the middle, Robinho turned and stuffed into the penalty area, Raul pushed with his right foot in front of the goal, and hit the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, Real Madrid's aggregate score was 2:3!

However, the slow motion showed that Raul seemed to be offside at the moment of Robinho's pass. In the European scoring charts, Raul surpassed Gade, who scored 62 goals. Muller, who equalled the record holder Inzaghi, has come to the end of their European campaigns this season.

At the moment of the game, Schuster replaced Baptista with Soldado, and Real Madrid began to do Zuihou efforts. Roma replaced Citinho with Panucci.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Heinze was whistled for a foul, Panucci's free kick on the right side hung diagonally in the penalty area, the ball went over Cannavaro's head, Vucinic grabbed in front of Casillas, and scored on the edge of the small penalty area with an empty goal, the aggregate score was 4:2, and Real Madrid was unable to recover.

Roma's elimination of Real Madrid was simply more surprising than Fiorentina's elimination of Barcelona, and Roma's victory did not look ugly, in fact, they dominated the field for most of the game.

After the game, Spalletti also highly praised the performance of his disciples: "I told the players before the game, although we won the first leg, we were given an away goal by Real Madrid, so this game, from the first minute, we have to fight hard and fight like gladiators, in fact, they did the same, Roma advanced to the quarter-finals, this is the best result, this victory, we have to dedicate this victory to the fans who have always supported us, and of course Chairman Sensi!" ”

Roma rejoiced after the victory, and Real Madrid, who lost, could only concentrate all their energy on the league, but the coach Schuster will not have a good time, although the league title is in sight, but the Champions League that Calderon takes more seriously, his days under Real Madrid seem to be coming to an end.

Fiorentina and Roma eliminated the two giants of La Liga, and the upcoming Milan duo have more expectations, and it is always not easy for people to be satisfied, especially when they don't look at the miracles of the two teams, and the ideas will follow.

However, there are some things that happen that do not depend on human will, especially football matches.

Isn't there such a saying?

Football is round, anything can happen!
