Fiorentina Coach Vincenzo Montella admits his side have ‘at most a 10 to 15 per cent chance’ of making the Europa League final.

The Viola lost the first leg of their semi-final with Sevilla 3-0, and have a mountain to climb at Artemio Franchi tomorrow night.

“I don’t remember having made a sensational comeback in a cup as a player,” Montella said in his pre-match Press conference.

“Maybe in the League, I’ve been 2-0 down and come back to 3-2, but never in a knockout competition.

“I don’t remember having made a sensational comeback in a cup as a player,” Montella said in his pre-match Press conference.

“Maybe in the League, I’ve been 2-0 down and come back to 3-2, but never in a knockout competition.

“We don’t pay much attention to the percentages, we have at most a 10 to 15 per cent chance of going through, but we’ll play for everything.

“Based on what I saw in the first leg, we have to discover some ruthlessness and luck. It will be fundamental to have a strong inner conviction tomorrow.

“The important thing is not to concede.

“We have to force the game while also being balanced, I don’t think it’s necessary to score in the first minute to have more of a chance.

“It’s not important when you score or have a penalty, what’s important is to be in it until the end. Then we could win 5-0, why not?

“We’re approaching an occasion where there’s a strong desire for revenge, we have great concentration.

“To make history you have to really believe you can.

“We can do this. It’s possible.”
