Although Fiorentina lost the Conference League Final to Olympiacos, they still have three players in the UEFA Team of the Season for this competition.
The Viola made it to the Final two years running, suffering defeat to West Ham United in 2023 and Olympiacos in 2024.
However, that loss in Athens ended a 13-match unbeaten streak in the Conference League.
This is what helped earn a place in the ideal XI for the tournament to three Fiorentina players.
They are goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano, right-back Dodo and left-back Cristiano Biraghi.
Somewhat inevitably, especially as he scored the extra time winner in the Final and finished top scorer in the entire competition, Olympiacos striker Ayoub El Kaabi was named Player of the Tournament.
Conference League Team of the Season
Terracciano (Fiorentina); Dodo (Fiorentina), Hranac (Viktoria Plzen), Carmo (Olympiacos), Biraghi (Fiorentina); Vanaken (Club Brugge), Fortounis (Olympiacos), McGinn (Aston Villa); Bailey (Aston Villa), El Kaabi (Olympiacos), Podence (Olympiacos)
Loses two cup finals in 365 days and Real Madrid win 15th CL Title.
