Olympiakos 1 Fiorentina 0 / Conference Final

for the second year running Fiorentina lost the Conference Final in a dull , disappointing game. Our problem is a weak strike force. Nico Gonzalez was average and a mistake to prefer Bellotti to Beltran

the match was played in the impressive stadium of AEK Athens and therefore the home city of Olympiakos whose fans understandably outnumbered ours

We have now lost 5 out of 6 European finals but many of these were in my father’s day in the late 50s.

El kaabi of Olympiakos managed what Fiorentina could not poaching a goal in extra time. There was an agonising wait for Var to give the goal but once they did la Viola had insufficient time to equalise.

It looks like Vincenzo Italiano will leave for Napoli and Fiorentina have to appoint.
