Fiorentina’s opponent in the Conference League final was confirmed after Greek side Olympiacos beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the second leg of their semifinal clash in Greece.
Olympiacos progressed to the final via a 6-2 win on aggregate with Moroccan international forward Ayroub El-Kaabi scoring five goals across the two-legged tie.
Playing against Olympiacos at the home ground of Greek side AEK Athens on May 29 is Fiorentina’s second time competing in the final game of European football’s third tier.
Fiorentina lost 2-1 to West Ham in last year’s final and have the chance to become the second Italian team to win the competition after AS Roma won the maiden edition of the Conference League.
