Despite being knocked out by Bayern Munich on goal aggregate, you have to appreciate Fiorentina’s performance today.  Anyone who saw the game couldn’t help noticing the talents of 20 year old Stevan Jovetic.  He had 2 goals on the day and immediately became a summer-transfer target for larger clubs.

Jovetic started his career at Partizan when he was 16 and was named the squad’s captain just two years later.  After scoring 12 goals in 51 appearances for the club, Jovetic received interest from high-profile teams such as Manchester United and Real Madrid, but instead made the move to Serie A squad Fiorentina.  He netted two goals to beat Liverpool in last season’s group stage of the UEFA Champions League.  After today’s performance, the young stunner has surely earned a place in Viola history.
