Alfredo Di Stéfano and Paco Gento scored the last and only time Real Madrid have met.
A dominant Madrid cruised past a Viola team in its heyday in the 1957 European Cup final—the second of five consecutive continental crowns they’d win after the competition’s inception.
The two teams meet in considerably less significant circumstances on Saturday, as Klagenfurt’s Wörthersee Stadion plays host to a preseason friendly between the clubs.
José Mourinho is taking his players away from the training ground for a brief tour of central Europe, while Fiorentina have recently toured England and struggled against two second-tier opponents.
Saturday’s bout may mean little, but it’s nonetheless a novel occasion that’ll excite the history buffs.
Here’s how supporters around the world can watch the action unfold in Austria.
