Under the tutelage of Vincenzo Italiano, Fiorentina pipped Swiss football club Basel 4-3 (on aggregate) in the two-legged semi-finals to book their place in the UECL 2022-23 final.

Fiorentina thrashed Braga 7-2 (on aggregate) in the knockout round playoffs, before hammering Sivasspor 5-1 (on aggregate) in the Round of 16. They continued their brilliant run by overcoming Lech Poznan 6-4 (on aggregate) in the quarter-finals.
On the other hand, the David Moyes-coached West Ham beat Eredivisie outfit AZ Alkmaar 3-1 (on aggregate) in the two-legged semi-finals to stay in contention for silverware.
While West Ham struggled in the Premier League this season, they managed to excel in the European competition.
The Hammers topped Group B with six wins in six matches. They later pummelled AEK Larnaca 6-0 (on aggregate) in the pre-quarters, and followed it up by defeating Gent 5-2 to secure their place in the final four.
