After taking a one-0 lead, the Sampdoria players who were already unable to cheer up the game became more and more careless on the field, in addition to Montella, who was still working the field, even Veron, the always steady organizational core, made several mistakes, and was almost seized by Fiorentina to expand the score.

However, with the current form of Sampdoria's players, it is only a matter of time before they concede again.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes after Vieri's goal, Filippo Inzaghi also opened up, and it was Rui Costa who provided the assist: the Portuguese midfielder's pass broke through the entire Samp backline, and Inzaghi successfully countered offside and shoveled home to make it 2-0!

Fiorentina also created a couple of good scoring chances in the years that followed, but sadly, Vieri and Inzaghi were unable to take advantage of those opportunities to extend their advantage further.

In this way, the score remained 2-0 until the end of the first half.

Although Menotti made a tirade in the dressing room at half-time, hoping to boost the morale of the players and even complete the equaliser or even complete the reversal in the second half, the Samp players who were no longer in the game clearly took the old manager's speech as the wind in their ears.

After the start of the second half, seeing that his players were still half-dead on the field, Menotti finally extinguished the desire to win at home, replaced Montella and Veron, the two absolute main players, and announced the surrender to Capello after only 50 minutes of the game.

Capello saw that the opponent took the initiative to give up the game, and also replaced Vieri and Inzaghi, the two big players, the subtext is obvious: just keep this score until the end of the game, and there is no need to fight Sampdoria again, which has no fighting spirit, so as not to force the opponent to be anxious and deliberately make a black hand, then it will be a big deal.

After all, Fiorentina still have the Champions Cup and Coppa Italia to play next, and at such a critical moment, any player is an extremely valuable fighting force, and Capello certainly doesn't want to see any accidents happen to his players at this juncture.

As a result, in the following period, the Fiorentina players, like the Samp players, did not have the heart to continue attacking, because the outcome of the game had been decided, and the league title was already in Fiorentina's pocket, and they certainly had no motivation to continue playing.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Fiorentina, who were visiting the Stadio Ferraris, easily defeated Sampdoria 2-0 and sealed the 1997-98 Serie A trophy three rounds ahead of schedule!

However, Fiorentina did not celebrate on the pitch, after all, this is the territory of Sampdoria, and if it is too unscrupulous, it will only cause unnecessary disgust from the other party; Moreover, the current situation does not allow Fiorentina to devote too much energy to celebrating the title, as the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals is about to begin......

As a result, the players just celebrated a little on the pitch before flying back to Fiorentina overnight to prepare for the upcoming Champions League fixture.

The news that Fiorentina won the Serie A title ahead of schedule and completed the fourth consecutive league title quickly reached the ears of all fans or teams who cared about Fiorentina's recent situation through media publicity.

Although other Serie A teams have long been mentally prepared for Fiorentina to win the championship, when they see the Purple Lily become the third team in the history of Serie A to complete four consecutive league titles, these clubs are inevitably still a little uncomfortable - no matter who it is, there is always some competitive psychology, so many team owners who are aspiring to compete for the championship After seeing the glory of Fiorentina, they began to think more seriously about how to pull Fiorentina off the throne of the league championship. Then they themselves sat in this glorious position.

Under the urging of this mentality, a new round of arms war is about to start in Italy.

While these owners and general managers are meditating on strengthening the team, Fiorentina has already taken a special plane to Madrid, the capital of Spain, where Capello and his players will start a fierce battle with Real Madrid.

After being let go by Fiorentina in the final round of the group stage and narrowly escaped to ascend to heaven, Real Madrid performed quite well in the knockout stage. In the quarter-finals, the Blancos defeated Portuguese giants Porto with an aggregate score of 4-1 (3-0 at home and 1-1 away); In the quarterfinals, facing the Kyiv Dynamo led by Lobanovsky, Real Madrid lost first and then won, and finally made the Kyiv Dynamo with Shevchenko and Rebrov, the "Ukrainian twin stars", return home with hatred by virtue of the advantage of more away goals, and finally returned to the semifinals of the Champions Cup after many years!

The two teams have played each other in the group stage of this season's Champions League, and Fiorentina are unbeaten in those two matches, winning one and drawing one. Therefore, the Fiorentina players obviously did not take this defeat too seriously, and stepped onto the Bernabeu Stadium with a relatively relaxed mentality.

However, Capello was not contagious by the optimism of his players, and still played the main team in this game: goalkeeper Toldo, the back four are Robert Carlos, Stam, Nesta and Zambrotta, and in midfield, Redondo is behind the team, Davies and Di Biagio are in charge of protection.

However, with midfielder Effenberg straining a calf muscle in training, Rui Costa became the heart of Fiorentina's playmaker.

Up front, the starting combination of Barty, the god of war, and Ronaldo, the alien, is enough to make any team's backline tremble.

In the first half, Batistuta and Davo Suker scored a goal each in the first half, and the performances of the two teams were evenly matched, with Fiorentina even having a narrow advantage with an away goal.

However, when Davies was sent off the pitch for a pedaling foul shortly after the start of the second half, the balance of the game began to tip in Real Madrid's side!

Real Madrid, who were at home, took advantage of the advantage of one more man to launch a fierce attack, with good players such as Amavisca, Ziggy, Raul and Panucci taking turns on the flanks to suppress Carlos and Zambrotta on the opposite side with attack, while Fiorentina's proud defensive system could not completely plug all the defensive holes because of the lack of one man, which naturally gave Real Madrid players more room to play.

In the 78th minute, Raul, who received Ziggy's pass, crossed to the middle after attracting Di Biagio, and the unguarded Seedorf scored directly from 25 meters away from the goal, helping Real Madrid overtake the score!

Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind in the score, Capello began to order his players to take the initiative to attack. Because he knows that with one less person, it will be difficult for Fiorentina to resist Real Madrid's attack by defending to the death, so it is better to let the players fight to see if they can get some miracles.

However, this desperate approach did not always succeed, at least this time, Capello fell on his heel - Ronaldo and Barty missed at least three chances to beat Real Madrid in the box, only to watch Raul score the game-winning goal in stoppage time!

In this way, the pre-match Fiorentina players suffered a Waterloo with one less man to play, and the Purple Lilies who visited the Bernabeu finally lost 1-3, and the road to the Champions League final was overshadowed at this moment.
