Lazio came into its Serie A fixture against Fiorentina as the favorites to pick up all three points from the match. However, Fiorentina played the role of a spoiler as the side came away with an upset 2-0 home win.

Former Italian midfielder Angelo Di Livio sees that this loss for Lazio was a major missed opportunity as the side came into the match in promising shape to soon reach a top-four spot in the league table. Di Livio spoke to the Italian-based outlet TuttoMercatoRadio (via Cittaceleste) where he gave his take on Lazio’s loss to Fiorentina along with an outlook on the side’s top-four aspirations.

After the defeat against Fiorentina, the Champions League has become even more difficult. If Correa had scored, it would have been a different game. Instead, Lazio have found a tough opponent who has conceded very little to their opponents.

Lazio will now look ahead to an upcoming fixture against Parma where the Biancocelesti will aim to rebound with a convincing win.
