Zenit are going from strength to strength in this tournament, peaking at just the right moment. I wouldn't bet against them lifting the trophy. A terrific feat when you consider they've had to play in the competition through their domestic mid-season break, and also the fact that they lost what i can likely assume was their star defender in Martin Skrtel to Liverpool.

It's extra-time between Fiorentina and Rangers, and i hope the Gers can knick it. It'd be refreshing to have a final made without a Spanish, English or Italian side.

I think their best bet is penalties though, the way things have been going.

While agree that I would like to see a non-English/Spanish/Italian final I do want Fiorentina to win it simpy because they have been playing quite well this season but will not get the Scudetto. So at least they should get this for their hard work.

Caught the arse end of this game & the pens. That well known Mexican dish "Nacho Novo" scores the winning pen.

Zenit will win the final though.

I feel disappointed that Fiorentina lost. I really was hoping they would win as they deserved something.

Perhaps next time I suppose.

what a great game of football to watch i thought. in extra time you could just sense a goal was coming, it felt so tense. i wouldnt say rangers fully deserved the win because fiorentina were on top throughout the game, but rangers' defending was great, they were so tight at the back.

but it the end it was a brilliant win for the gers, im supporting them all the way now to win the final.

so the rangers made it to the final with their catenaccio system. sad for football. they deserved to be eliminated since the bremen game.
i'll keep my fingers crossed for zenit in the final.

Well done Rangers. As defensively as they've played, Europe is about getting the results - be it winning, drawing, not conceding an away goal or whatever. They've done that well.
