Ahead of what promises to be a bumper second leg, let’s find out a little more about our Italian opponents…
A brief history
Known as La Viola (the Purples) due to their distinctive, stylish kit, Fiorentina were originally founded in 1926.
They have two Scudetto titles to their name, bringing the league title to Tuscany in both 1955/56 and 1968/69.
1956/57 also saw them reach the final of the European Cup in only the competition’s second season, where ultimately, they were beaten by Spanish giants Real Madrid 2-0 at Bernabéu.
