by

THE Fiorentina bowed out with an upset in the Italian Cup final against Interso the Olympicwhich secured his presence in his 3rd qualifying round Europa League after defeat of PAOK by AEKsaw the scenarios that can send him one round down narrowed to two.

The “red and white” you see they can find themselves in the playoffs instead of the 3rd qualifierthus certainly ensuring their participation in groups even of the Conference, in two cases.

One concerns the Champions League and Interwith Olympiakos wanting to conquer the Nerazzurri the prestigious trophy against Manchester City, after first finish in 5th or 6th place in Serie A. A somewhat difficult scenario, mainly because Simone Inzaghi’s team is 3rd and +5 from 5th place with two games to go.

The second seems more feasible. The people of Piraeus turn their attention to Romawanting to conquer that Europa League and at the same time finish 5th or 6th in the Italian championship. The “Galorossi” are 6th, four points away from the top four and one from 7th, Juventus, while they will face Sevilla in the Europa final, certainly having better chances than Inter for the Euro-cup.

It is noted that in case Olympiacos is finally in the 3rd qualifying round, it will know its opponent on July 24 and will play the matches August 10 and 17.

If he goes straight to the playoffs, he will enter the August 7 draw and will play 24 and 31 of the month – having guaranteed the Conference minimum.
