Where to see Fiorentina-West Ham, the Conference League final – Corriere.it

Just over a year ago, Roma triumphed in Tirana, Albania, winning the first edition of the Conference League in the final against Feyenoord (1-0, Zaniolo). Now, but in Prague, Fiorentina is trying. At 21, the Viola will face West Ham (on Tv8, Dazn, Sky Sport, Sky Sport Uno, Sky Sport Football, Sky Sport 4k and streaming on Sky Go and Now Tv).

Vincenzo Italiano’s side, who upset Basel in the semi-final by winning 3-1 in Switzerland (May 18) after losing 2-1 in Florence (May 11), are the only Italians to have played in all four competitions’ finals continental: the Cup Winners’ Cup, the Champions’ Cup, the UEFA Cup and precisely the Conference League. Of this personal “poker” Fiorentina can boast only one victory, the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1960-61, when they won against Glasgow Rangers, in a clash between the first leg (2-0) and second leg (2-2). In the Champions Cup final, then lost 2-0, the Viola faced Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid (30 May 1957), while in the equally lost UEFA Cup final against Juventus (3-1 in the first leg on 2 May 1990; 0-0 in second leg 16 May 1990).

Now the Italian men have the final in Prague against West Ham on 7 June ahead of them. The grandand doubt of Italian it’s who to bet on in attack from the startor between Jovic and Cabral. The former scored 13 goals this season in the league (6), Conference (6 others) and in the Coppa Italia against Turin. In the second leg he was overtaken in the hierarchies by the Brazilian, but in the last two league games played (the last one against Sassuolo he didn’t enter) he scored two goals against Turin and Rome. For the rest there are few doubts. Fiorentina clings to the speed of Nico Gonzalez to triumph in Europe for the first time in its recent history.

It won’t be easy to beat West Ham, who aim to win after putting the Cup Winners’ Cup on the bulletin board on 19 May 1965, beating 1860 Munich 2-0 in London. In the semi-final, the Hammers eliminated Az Alkmaar, prevailing both first leg (2-1, May 11) and second leg (1-0, May 18).
