Fiorentina booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a narrow win over Lyon in Group E which also sent Liverpool out of the competition.
A Juan Vargas penalty in the 28th minute was enough to see the Viola successfully navigate their way through the group stages for the first time in their history, joining opponents Lyon in the knockout phase and condemning the Reds to the Europa League.
A sell-out crowd of over 35,000 witnessed Fiorentina’s historic achievement as they also became the first Italian representatives to qualify for the knockout round this year.
