The Conference League final between West Ham United and Fiorentina continues to be a hot topic of conversation at both clubs, albeit for different reasons.
West Ham proudly reflect on their continental triumph, while Fiorentina laments what could have been if they had performed better in that game.
One player haunted by the missed opportunity in that match is Rolando Mandragora, who recently spoke with Labaro Viola about his desire for redemption in the next Conference League game.
“The missed goal against West Ham is my biggest career regret. I constantly dwell on it and am determined to set things right in this year’s rematch. The road to the final is long, but I am working tirelessly to make it back there and achieve my revenge. I am focused on improving and scoring whenever I can.”
Mandragora had a clear chance to score when the match was level at 1-1, a moment that could have shifted the outcome dramatically.
Fiorentina now have their sights set on claiming the Conference League title this season. After navigating the qualifiers and group stage, they are now set to face Maccabi Haifa in the round-of-16.
Having secured a 4-3 victory away from home, Fiorentina look to secure their spot in the next round with a strong performance in their home match tonight.
On the other hand, West Ham is gearing up for a Europa League showdown against Freiburg. Following a narrow 1-0 defeat in Germany, the Hammers face a challenging task as they aim to bounce back with a positive result in London.
