Sunday’s 5-3 success at Verona saw Fiorentina simultaneously conquer two important milestones: the club’s 1000th victory in Serie A and win number 250 under the Della Valle family’s ownership.

Andrea Della Valle said to Violachannel.tv: “This target could not have been honoured in any better way. I’m proud that my family has reached this historic landmark and I’m sure that we’ll go on to achieve even more great results because we’re on the right path.”
