fiorentina,-a-draw-is-enough-for-the-conference-round-of-16.-roma-in-europa-league-playoffs

Ferencvaros-Fiorentina 1-1, Roma-Sheriff Tiraspol 3-0

They arrive, and they are a bit mixed when compared with each other, the European group stage verdicts for Fiorentina and Roma: the Viola, thanks to the 1-1 draw in the final against Ferencvaros, place first in Group F of the Conference League and advance directly to the round of 16, while the Giallorossi, despite a 2-0 win against Sheriff Tiraspol, do not go beyond second place in Group G of the Europa League and, to finish among the best sixteen of the second European competition, will have to go through the playoff against one of the “relegated” teams from the Champions League.

As for Fiorentina’s match, the first half brought as a dowry the injury of Nico Gonzalez, who came off at 20’and was replaced by Ikoné, while at the beginning of the second half came Zachariassen’s goal that was worth the momentary overtaking in the standings by Ferencvaros. To settle things è Luca Ranieri, who in minute 73 scored on the developments of a corner and allowed his team to celebrate the 1-1. The score wouldn&#39t change anymore: Fiorentina first with 12 points, Ferencvaros second with 10 (in the playoffs against one of the “relegated” from the Europa League). Eliminated are Genk (9 points) and Cucaricki (0).

At the Olimpico, however, the match between Roma and Sheriff è literally without history: at 11’11’ è Romelu Lukaku to open the scoring, after a beautiful action of Zalewski who serves the Belgian two steps from the goal line; again Zalewski inspires the goal of 2-0, scored by Andrea Belotti at 32′ header, while closing out the scoring è the “baby” Niccolò Pisilli, class of 2004, who took advantage of Lukaku’s bank to pierce Koval at 94′.

At the same time, forò, Slavia Prague beat Servette 4-0 and finished first in the group, with 15 points. Roma finishes in second place with 13, while Servette, which finishes with 5, drops to the Conference League and bottom-seeded Sheriff finishes with 1 point and è eliminated.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton

During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.

“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don&#39t think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team&#39s choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.

“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.

“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.

“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

CONI President Giovanni Malagò spoke at the Allianz Tower in Milan on the sidelines of an event with Olympic and Paralympic athletes who participated in the Paris Games. During his speech, the Rome native wanted to dwell on the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and the role that Jannik Sinner will play, who will be one of the volunteers contributing to the event’s organization.

“The origins of Jannik Sinner, who è is from South Tyrol, suggest that he could have become the world number one in skiing. This we can never know, but we certainly know that he è become the number one in tennis” began the CONI president.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
