The Aquile, who had just defeated Real Sociedad 3-1 in the Europa League here on Thursday, had a terrible start at the Stadio Olimpico. Within 17 minutes, Fiorentina had a 2-0 lead thanks to a header at the back post from Lucas Beltran that went unmarked and a volley from Yacine Adli.

Despite controlling the ball, the Biancocelesti seldom managed to score until Adam Marusic's header in extra time. David De Gea then came very close to tying the score with a save on Marusic and Pedro off the upright with the game's last kick. “It’s a pity, because we allowed two avoidable goals early on, but I will hold on tight to the second half performance. We had chances that we didn’t take, but the team played with determination, created opportunities, and we are certainly sad at the result, but these are situations that must make us stronger,” Baroni told DAZN.
