First shit Rome, Now Fiorentina and soon to be Inter. Team Italy is the definition of coming so close but not enough. Wishing everyone was here when Inter milan won it. Italy's performance in European football this season has been very good, the only problem is that the curse is not lifted because they are so close. Fortunately, Inter Milan might turn this around as they were the last Italian team to win a European title, when they won the Treble with Jose Mourinho in 2010, if they beat Manchester City.
If ever there's a curse, I'm not seeing it. All I see is lack of the ability to contend against the opponents . They can be good in their league but don't have that extra power outside. But from what I see and if I can predict the game turnout, it would be tough since they are both looking to break a historical deadlock.
Pep would have a lot running for him because this game would be a decision maker whether the curse laid on him by Yaya Toure will be broken or is still having a strong effect. They are yet another club who has come so close to tasting victory but messed up.
