After the Fiorentina All Stars v Operazione Nostalgia Legends match, Gabriel Batistuta was interviewed by the club’s media. Here’s some of what the Argentine forward had to say:

“Honestly, I’m not in the right shape to play football, but I couldn’t refuse an invite to this event. I know what this means to the club, the city and the supporters. I just had to be here. It’s lovely to celebrate the club’s 100^th anniversary – I’m a part of the club’s history, after all.

“My love for the fans is mutual. This will never die. I’ve been around the world and what the club has is unique. I’m delighted to be part of this.”
