| Pierre Kalulu of AC Milan and Alfred Duncan of ACF Fiorentina battle for the ball during the Serie A match between AC Milan and ACF Fiorentina at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on May 1, 2022 in Milan, Italy. |
Fiorentina will return
to European football for the first time in five years after beating Juventus
2-0 to qualify for next season’s Conference League.
Alfred Duncan’s finish
on the stroke of half-time and Nicolas Gonzalez’s late penalty gave Vincenzo
Italiano’s side the win they needed to guarantee continental competition.
Fiorentina ensured
seventh spot in Italy’s top flight, three points ahead of Atalanta who lost 1-0
at home to Empoli and miss out on Europe for the first time since Gian Piero
Gasperini took over as coach in 2016.
Giorgio Chiellini made his final appearance in a Juve shirt
in a typically feisty match between big rivals and he left the field with a
bleeding head after a clash with Fiorentina forward Krzysztof Piatek in build
up to Duncan’s winner.
