Fiorentina fans at the OPAP Arena in Athens vented anger at their own players after a painful defeat in the Conference League Final against Olympiacos: ‘Respect our shirt.’

Fiorentina fans rage at players after loss in Conference League Final
As reported by Firenzeviola and other media outlets in Athens, many Fiorentina players were in tears in front of the away sector at the end of the game, but fans did not try to console them.
On the contrary, they shouted ‘Respect for our shirt,’ and some Tuscan supporters even ripped out seats, throwing them onto the pitch.
Circa 9,000 Fiorentina fans travelled to Athens over the last few days, hoping to see the Viola win the first major trophy since 2001.
This is the third time they have lost a Final under Italiano, having also lost the Coppa Italia Final against Inter last year.
