The Europa League winner faced the Europa Conference League runner-up in Bergamo one week after the rest of the league played its final games of 2023-2024, with the teams unable to meet in March due to their European commitments. 

A victory would have taken Gian Piero Gasperini's team – guaranteed a top-four finish – above Juventus into third, but Andrea Belotti put La Dea behind within six minutes.

Ademola Lookman raced clear to equalise with a dinked finish within six further minutes, but Nicolas Gonzalez's fine volley soon re-established the Viola's lead.

Scalvini drilled in a terrific shot to pull Atalanta level again shortly after the hour mark, but his game would later end in tears as he was helped from the field with an apparent knee issue – a major concern for Italy less than two weeks out from their Euro 2024 opener.

Belotti had put Fiorentina back in the lead after a goalmouth scramble on the stroke of half-time, and Atalanta was unable to force a leveller in the second period as its fine season ended on a flat note.
