Serie A club Vicenza beat a stellar Chelsea side to lift the 1997-98 European Cup Winners' Cup, a result that shattered the glasses of countless bricks.

Although Chelsea are not a first-class team in the Premier League, the Blues have also finished fourth in the Premier League this season, so in the eyes of many, Vicenza, who is only eighth in the league this season and has no star in the team, is obviously a cut below Chelsea in terms of quality.

However, the reality gave these people a resounding slap in the face, in this final, the "weak team" in the eyes of most people not only did not adopt a conservative style of play, but instead used a positive attack to get the opponent and won the first Cup Winners' Cup championship in the team's history!

Even Vicenza, who are eighth in Serie A, can beat Chelsea, who are in the top four of the Premier League, how cruel the competition in Serie A is! After this Cup Winners' Cup final, a lot of people are thinking about it.

The result of this final has made Serie A's title of the world's No. 1 league even more worthy of its name, and the Serie A team has a greater attraction for the stars, because players with a little talent want to prove their quality in the highest level of Italian leagues, and once they can make a name for themselves in such a league, then they can earn a better contract.

After the Cup Winners' Cup final, the 97-98 European club competition was left with only one of the most popular Champions Cup finals.

What the? When is the final of the League Cup, you ask? Sorry I forgot to say it, the UEFA Cup final and the Coppa Italia final were scheduled for the same day.

Although due to Zhuang Mingge's turmoil, Inter Milan, who reached the final in history, was changed to participate in the Champions Cup, but Sampdoria, who played extremely badly in the domestic league, showed amazing combat effectiveness in the European competition, and passed all the way to the final of the Lazio division who also represented Serie A in the League Cup.

In the final, facing Lazio, who were stronger and began to calm down under Eriksen's tutelage, Sampdoria struggled desperately, but finally lost 1-2 and lost the UEFA Cup title.

It was only then that the media and fans, who were waiting for the Champions Cup final, were surprised to find that this season's three major European Cup finals had almost completely turned into a one-man show in Serie A!

The Champions Cup final was played against Fiorentina and Juventus, and the two teams in the UEFA Cup final, Sampdoria and Lazio, were also from Serie A. The Cup Winners' Cup was not won by Serie A, but that was probably more because only one team represented Italy was Vicenza.

Although AC Milan was expelled from the G14 League, judging from the performance of the Serie A teams in the three major European Cups this season, the Italian team still has a considerable advantage in the European competition!

It is precisely for this reason that some fans even joked in interviews that if UEFA allowed Italy to send two teams to the Cup Winners' Cup, maybe even the cup would turn into a civil war in Serie A at its worst......

Although I don't know how UEFA will feel after hearing this statement, whether it will conform to the will of the people and let the Serie A team also stage a good civil war in the Cup Winners' Cup next season. However, in the upcoming Champions Cup final, it has been determined that a blockbuster of the civil war between Italian teams will be staged in front of all the fans who are following this match!

On May 23, at 5:30 p.m. local time in the Netherlands, the entire Fiorentina team departed from the hotel by bus to the Amsterdam Arena.

The 51,600-seat Amsterdam Arena is a modern stadium built by the Dutch government for the European Championship to be held on home soil in two years' time, and is one of the best stadiums in the Netherlands, and is also the current home of Ajax FC.

More than 50,000 tickets had already been sold out before the final began, and the fans from both sides of the flank, Fiorentina and Juventus, came out together to divide the tickets in just a few days!

Zhuang Mingge, who entered the stadium in advance through the VIP channel, even saw many fans who had not bought tickets standing in the square outside the stadium, wandering around the square because they didn't want to miss the final, trying to buy a ticket at a high price from scalpers.

Some people may say, isn't it a clash between Fiorentina and Juventus? These two teams have to meet at least twice a season, is it necessary to make such a hard deal?

Well, but this is the first time in the 43-year history of the Champions Cup that two teams from the same country have met in the Champions League final, how can it not be exciting for fans, especially those in Serie A!

Fiorentina and Juventus will meet in the Champions League final, which proves from another perspective how strong Serie A is now!

"It seems that Coach Lippi is planning to focus on stability in this game!" Looking at the starting list of Juventus in the final, which had just been sent, Zhuang Mingge sighed.

"In fact, it is normal for Coach Lippi to arrange it this way, after all, the overall strength of Juventus is still inferior to our Fiorentina, and because the Juventus forward line composed of Pierrot and Otero is more than agile and lacks strong offensive ability, so the defensive counterattack is the most correct choice for Juve." Karin added next to her, but she was not talking to Zhuang Mingge, but explaining to the "pseudo-fan" Groz Jr. on the other side.

"Okay, okay, Karin, I understand what you're saying, don't always think of me as a blind ball who doesn't know anything, okay?" Little Groz frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"Oh? Rebecca, tell me, who is Juventus' main goalkeeper? Hearing Little Grotz's statement, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but tease the other party, and asked with a wicked smile.

"Do you need to ask?" Little Groz held up her rather magnificent breasts and said proudly, "Of course it's Pagliuca!" ”

"Poof......" Hearing this, Zhuang Mingge couldn't hold back, and accidentally laughed out loud, and said in his heart It's good that Moratti didn't hear you say this, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry that he smoked?

"Antonio! You're bullying me again! Don't laugh! Seeing Zhuang Mingge smiling on the side, where did little Groz not know that he had made another mistake of common sense?

Annoyed and angry, little Groz pounced on Zhuang Mingge with his teeth and claws, scratching the latter and begging for mercy, while Karin was hiding and snickering.

In this way, before the start of the Champions League final, a charming and warm sitcom was staged in a box at the Amsterdam Arena.
