Olympiacos surprise

Olympiacos began its continental season in the auxiliary continental championship, the European League, but luck did not favor it, so it continued its journey in the third most important continental competition, the European Conference League.

Despite its difficult season domestically, where it finished third in the league behind PAOK and AEK Athens, failing to win its 48th title, and changing its coach 3 times, the effectiveness of its Moroccan striker Ayoub El Kaabi maintained its hopes of winning a continental title, even if it was a reserve team.

“When I came to Olympiacos, I did not expect that we would reach this stage in Europe,” his incoming Spanish coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar, said last February after he was dismissed by Sevilla last October. I was collecting information about the team. With time, I became convinced of the possibility of continuing the journey locally and in Europe.”

“This is a source of great joy for all of us, especially Olympiacos fans,” he added.

What is noteworthy is that the match will be held at the home ground of Olympiacos’ local rival, AEK Athens, at AEK Arena.

Before the current season, Olympiacos, which was founded 99 years ago, failed to advance beyond the European group stage 14 times in 16 attempts.

The only Greek team to reach the final of a continental competition was Panathinaikos when it lost to the Dutch Ajax in the 1971 Champion Clubs Cup final.

Fiorentina Series

On the other hand, Fiorentina is competing in its sixth continental final, after a series of 13 matches without losing in Europe.

Coach Vincenzo Italiano’s players, who achieved difficult victories in the qualifying rounds, are determined to make up for the disappointing final of last season, when they lost the title of the second edition to English West Ham 1-2.

Italiano, who aspires to win the title and secure a ticket to participate in the Europa League, said, “Olympiacos is a strong, fierce team, and the mere fact that they beat Aston Villa back and forth means that they have quality.”

The coach of the team that finished eighth in the Italian League continued, “Their spearhead (Al-Kaabi) scores consistently. They can close the area and launch effective counterattacks.” “We are in their city, so you can imagine the atmosphere.”

Regarding the final that the Viola lost last season, he added, “This is the second final in a row for us in the European Conference League.” We want to learn the lessons of last season’s experience. “There is a great opportunity to bring the cup to Florence.”

Fiorentina has a more prestigious continental record than its next opponent, as it won the defunct European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1961, then finished as runner-up the following year. It also reached the final of the Champion Clubs’ Cup in 1957 when it lost to Real Madrid Di Stéfano and Gento 0-2. He finished runner-up in the European Union Cup (currently Europa League) in 1990.
