Inter are favourites to win the game. But Fiorentina will reportedly go full strength, as you would expect, so this is likely the side West Ham will face come the Euro final.
The Coppa Italia final is Fiorentina’s chance to lift a first major trophy in 22 years – since winning the same competition back in 2001.
West Ham fans of a certain age will remember Fiorentina as European regulars with the likes of Gabriel Batistuta and Rui Costa in their side.
But West Ham actually tasted European glory more recently than their final foes. The Hammers won the European Cup Winners Cup back in 1965. Fiorentina won the same competition four years prior in 1961.
