16 May 2021The very heavy victory of Napoli (0-2) in the home of an already saved Fiorentina has the scent of the Champions League. Gattuso's team in Europe that counts by beating quiet Verona at the 'Maradona' on the last day of the championship. Juve trembles, which risks ending up in fifth place and therefore in the Europa League.
At the 'Franchi' two teams with very different motivations. The Azzurri make the race and immediately produce two chances: Terracciano flies to Zielinski's left and blocks the next attempt by Fabian Ruiz. A goal canceled by the Viola Vlahovic for a clear offside. High Bakayoko's header, Meret does not tremble on Ribery's low shot, at 33 'Insigne's splendid free-kick is printed on the crossbar.
Recovery. Terracciano opposes Politano, on the 56th Naples penalty after a long Var di Abisso (withholding of Milenkovic on Rrahmani not so clear): Terracciano saves Insigne's shot, which however scores on the rebound. The Neapolitan striker hits another wood shortly after (63 '), four turns of hands and the guests close the match: Zielinski's conclusion from the edge deflected by Venuti and ball in the bag. Game over in Florence and Champions League goal one step away for Gattuso, who has destiny in his hands.
