Fiorentina 2-1 Dynamo Kyiv: Player grades and 3 things we learned

Player grades David de Gea—6: Had very little to do in this one, making just 1 save (pretty routine) and not doing much sweeping up. Can’t fault him for conceding a screamer, even if it was from far away; the distance is mitigated by Viti blocking his line of sight. Mattia Viti—7: Very steady game […]

What have the Blues been up to since then? Most recently, they were getting their asses handed to them by the Nashville Predators, losing 7-2 there on Thursday night before getting back into town late. ...
