EUROPE LEAGUE – A spell from Pirlo gives the Italian derby and qualification for Juve

Those who thought that Juventus weren't a cup-winning team are served. On the fearsome field in Florence, where the Bianconeri made up for their only defeat in the league, the Italian champions played a very intelligent game, first letting the Viola vent and then hitting them in the final phase of the second half with a splendid free-kick from the usual Pirlo , who once again decided the match. 

The punishment had been provoked by Gonzalo Rodrigo who had to resort to strong methods to stop the unleashed Llorente by getting expelled for a previous yellow card. At that point Montella's team, which started as favorite having impacted the first leg match 1 to 1, had to admire the flag.

In the last few minutes, Vidal even missed the Juventus goal from a few meters making Conte despair. But by now the games were done and Juve, eliminating Fiorentina (2 to 1 the sum of the two games for the Italian champions), moved on to the quarter-finals. However, Fiorentina leaves the Europa League with their heads held high.
