Fiorentina captain Biraghi: This Europa Conference League final all about revengeFlashscore
The Viola meet Olympiakos a year after losing the previous final to West Ham.

Biraghi said today: "You always think about them (finals), they are such big events that you carry them with you all your life. Now only one year has passed and it's fresh... The bitterness is so great that in moments of joy, like the negative ones, you want to share with those who follow you throughout the journey: our fans.

"There was general bitterness, ours and those who had come to Prague. Even if it was bad, it was a moment to share with them. We did well to return to the final for the second year, without ever having lost: we arrive with awareness and respect for our opponent, ready to overturn all the sensations."

Asked about a desire for revenge for what happened in last year's final, he continued: "Definitely, but it's from everyone who was there last year: the coach, my teammates, the club... We all want to change a result that we didn't deserve last year.

"Unfortunately we made a few more mistakes than West Ham and we were rightly punished. We want revenge and take away this trophy, for all the work done in these three years with the manager. And for those who are unfortunately no longer here: we have a lot of motivation, now it just needs to arrive as soon as possible the game. Once you're here you want to play right away."
