Roma’s Leandro Paredes taunted Fiorentina’s Luca Ranieri following Fiorentina’s defeat to Olympiacos in the Conference League Final on Wednesday.

The clash between Ranieri and Paredes dates back to December 2023, during Roma’s victory over Fiorentina. Ranieri, the Italian defender, referred to the Argentine World Cup winner as a ‘Miracolato,’ loosely translating to ‘extremely lucky’ in Italian.

This incident garnered widespread attention in Italy, and evidently, Paredes held onto the memory. The Giallorossi standout took the opportunity to mock Ranieri the day after Fiorentina’s loss in the Conference League Final against Olympiacos.

Ranieri found himself on the losing end of a crucial duel with Ayoub El Kaabi in the closing moments of extra time, resulting in the Moroccan international netting the winning goal for Olympiacos.

An Instagram account dedicated to Roma fans revived the confrontation between Paredes and Ranieri, along with Ranieri’s remarks towards the Roma midfielder. Paredes then chimed in with a simple yet pointed comment: a shushing face emoji, encapsulating his sentiments towards the Fiorentina defender.
