Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella was delighted with their 3-1 win over Cesena.

Josep Ilicic struck twice to end a run of four consecutive defeats.

"This victory will boost morale and self-confidence," Montella told Mediaset Premium.

"We wanted the win to get back fifth place and now our minds can go to Sevilla for Thursday's Europa League semi-final.

"I watched Sevilla play Real Madrid yesterday and they are a very well-constructed team. We really wanted this success to get us in the best headspace for the semi-final.

"Sevilla are a tough side who defend with good organisation and know how to attack. We will play to win."
