The Conference League, the third European competition after the Champions League and the Europa League, reaches its final battle. Of the 32 teams that started the fight in the group stage, without counting the previous rounds, only two have reached the grand final. Italian Fiorentina and English West Ham. One of the two will be crowned the second champion in the history of the tournament.
The 2022/23 Conference League final will take place next Wednesday, June 7, 2023, starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Eden Arena in Prague. In addition to the trophy and a prize of 5 million euros, a place in the group stage of the Europa League next season is at stake on the Czech pitch. A very precious loot for both continents, since neither has obtained a ticket to play in Europe through their leagues.
Fiorentina reaches the final assault as eighth place in Serie A and after losing in the Coppa Italia final against Inter. In the Conference League he has stood out for his scoring voracity: 36 goals in 14 games, seven of them signed by Athur Cabral. In the knockout phase, Vincenzo Italiano's men knocked out Braga, Sivasspor, Lech Pozna and Basel before reaching the final.
For the Violas, the Prague final is an unbeatable opportunity to lift their first European title since the 1961 Cup Winners' Cup.
For its part, West Ham has finished the Premier season in fourteenth place in the standings, while in the Conference League it has become the second highest scoring team (27 goals) and with a final phase in which they beat AEK Larnaca, Gent and AZ Alkmaar without much trouble in any tie. David Moyes' team is looking for the first continental trophy since 1965.
