Watch Fiorentina Vs. Juventus Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Cristiano Ronaldo Joins Bitter Serie A Rivalry
Cristiano Ronaldo is getting his first taste of what is perhaps Italy’s most bitter Serie A rivalry, as Football Italia reports, when the unbeaten Juventus travel to Florence to face 10th-place Fiorentina, in a grudge match where each team’s position on the table hardly seems to matter. In truth, the rivalry is largely a one-way affair, with Fiorentina fans still holding fresh memories of Juve snatching away league and European titles in the early 1980s, as well as snatching away players such as the legendary Roberto Baggio in 1990. The Tuscan side gets another chance for revenge Saturday in the match that will live stream from the Artemio Franchi.

But this time, the defending champs bring the world’s best player to the dance — creating a whole new task for the hosts to get through.
“It’s my second season in Italy and I have seen many great strikers, I recently duelled with Icardi and Dzeko just to name two, but Ronaldo is from another planet,” said Fiorentina defender Vitor Hugo, whose task will be to contain the global superstar, per Calcio Mercato. “With that said, he is still a human and the task of us defenders is to stop him, as well as Mandzukic and Dybala. Juve is not just Cristiano, it is a team with immense quality.”
