Just like I predicted before, Olympiacos will beat Fiorentina.
Well, they really deserve to become a champion, even though Fiorentina has better ball possession and shots more than Olympiacos, but most of the shots aren't a threat for Olympiacos. Fiorentina is really greedy and heated up to score as fast as possible, unfortunately the reality they can't even score any goal.
Fiorentina once again become a runner up in Conference League, they need to learn how to control their emotions.

Congratulations to Olympiakos they have really make their fans proud tonight by lifting the UEFA Conference league trophy 🏆 honestly speaking I must confess that I really enjoyed my self why I was watching the game because dispite the goal in the extra time I think the both keepers did very well in this match because the game was just 50/50 for both Olympiakos and Fiorentina. Once again congrats to them.
Congratulations to Olympiacos winning UEFA Conference League but also congrats for them being the first Greek team to win an European competition title.
Unfortunately Fiorentina lost again another final match, that's the sixth thought. I was afraid that this will happen eventually after seeing 0 - 0 by the end of the second half.. After all, penalties weren't necessary and Olympiacos was able to finish it by the end of the second extra time.
The game was so intense that at some point,I wasn't having doubt whether Olympiacos will come out victorious or not,but one just had to keep believing that they will edge it.Congratulations to them.

Olympiacos is a first Greek club which wins a title in all UEFA leagues and they make history for Greek football. 20 years ago, their national team won the Euro 2004 title as a big surprise of everyone with a goal from Charisteas and now they have a first club win a title in Europe.Unfortunately Fiorentina lost again another final match, that's the sixth thought.

Fiorentina on the other hand, lost their second continuous UEFA Conference League final match, after they lost against West Ham last season. Defeat of Fiorentina and the rank higher than 5th position in Serie A of Atalanta will not help Serie A to have more clubs in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League next season. They will have an extra slot in Champions League, which will belong to Bologna.

Another history has been made in European competition; first it was Atalanta who lifted the Europa league title for the first time since they were promoted into Serie A, now Olympiakos get to make the whole of Greece proud by lifting their first Senior men's European title in 99 years!! . With a late header from Ayoub El kaabi in the 2nd half of added extra time, the Greek club who no one expected to even get to this point once again edged Fiorentina out of the finals.
You may call it deja Vu for the Italian side since this was how close they were to clinching the title last season against West Ham but were ridden of that opportunity and same has happened this season. Maybe the best Coach Italiano can achieve at Fiorentina is a slot at the Europa conference league next season since it's becoming a habit to get to finals and end up losing out.
Congratulations to Olympiakos as they showed that determination can really pay off.
Congratulations to olympiakos on their Victory as it's a well deserved victory but I feel kind of sad for the Italian team though because it's not an easy experience to have lost two finals back to back with so much effort and time invested to get that there. But what has happened has happened so all what they could do now is to just try their best and see if they can actually break the bad luck spell of losing finals but even that is not easy as they would have to repeat all the hard work or even put more into it to achieve this again and hopefully not lose it again the next time.You may call it deja Vu for the Italian side since this was how close they were to clinching the title last season against West Ham but were ridden of that opportunity and same has happened this season.

Fiorentina should have prepared harder to ensure that what happened last season didn't repeat itself but it's as if they didn't learn their lesson. If not for El kaabi's goal, they were prepared to take it to the penalty shootout and what was the assurance that they would win?
If you ask me, Fiorentina had more opportunities to take the lead and even did so if not for the goal to be ruled out for offside, but what then stopped them from getting another?

This is a final and both clubs we’re definitely trailing with caution that’s why you then not playing the way they usually play that generates more goals. The game was kind of evenly matched as both teams stood their but to me Fiorentina deserved the win more base on their performance today. They were suppose to make Italy have seven spots for next year European competitions but not again
Yeah I understand, when it comes to the final both teams will play more carefully but initially I predicted there would be one goal in the first half which would trigger a second goal in the next half but unfortunately my prediction was wrong, Fiorentina fired 17 shots but only 4 were on target meaning Olympiacos knows how to play against Fiorentina. From the start I noticed that Olympiacos was playing well against strong teams Aston Villa, Fenerbahce and today Fiorentina it was proof that they really couldn't be underestimated. Actually, in the local league Olympiacos is not too impressive currently they finished in 3rd place it's just that they have one great player, he is Ayoub El Kaabi.

Chelsea will definitely one of the biggest candidates to win, I do not see any team that deserves it more than Chelsea and they are the favourites already. However, we should remember that Liverpool was premier league leaders when they lost to Atalanta as well as Leverkusen went unbeaten for 51 games before they lost as well. So, it's clear that while Chelsea may look like the best team, we could say that even better teams than Chelsea ended up losing, so it is not really that complicated.
You’re contradicting your self mate, you can’t say Chelsea deserved it more because the season hasn’t even kick started to even see which team performance will make team to deserve it. Chelsea will be playing their first edition on this competition and winning it will definitely create history for them as the first club to have all the three major European trophies in their locker. But I think Chelsea would be more concentrated in the competitions than this particular one.
Previously I placed a bet on both teams to score because I know both teams have the ability to do it, unfortunately there were no goals in regular time both play defensively. If Fiorentina win then they will get a ticket to the Europa League, right? so Fiorentina lost all tickets for European competitions next season.

First half of the UEFA Conference League Olympiakos 0-0 Fiorentina, however the first half was really nice performance from the both teams but although Fiorentina was trying to score Olympiakos but it was saved by their goal keeper because looking at the game Fiorentina stand in better chance to win the trophy, however I think Olympiakos really need to improve in this second half to enable them get a draw in 90 minutes and prepare for extra time.
Really a fierce and tight match, Olympiacos implemented a defensive game so they finally scored a goal in the 116th minute, Fiorentina tried their best but they couldn't do much because Olympiacos' defense was really strong. I think this is the second surprise in European competition after last week's Europa League and today's Conference League when the favorite team is defeated in any way. It's clear that many people favor Fiorentina because they are better than any side but this is the final result Olympiacos is the winner.

I hate saying this but I'm going all the way with Olympiakos tonight. Hell, why not? They bossed around Turkey, England, so why not Italy, who'll have nine reps next season in Europe.
Eh, what's all this talk about Chelski? Too early predictions, so here's my way-too-early prediction: Chelsea will cruise to the semifinals, but the pursuit of Champions League in the Premier proper will ensure they don't progress farther than that.
UCL, maybe even Europa, worth the chasing on several fronts. Not Conference League -- unless you're not a big 6 in England, then the prize money (not far off from Europa) actually makes a very interesting proposition.

Funny is that, the same people tipping Chelsea to win the conference league next season are the same set of people that tipped Liverpool to win it as the biggest team in the tournament at the time (not even Leverkusen came close in those predictions). Turned out both Liverpool and Leverkusen didn't end up winning it. Chelsea might be one of the biggest teams in the conference leagues but if they underperformed, they'll definitely lose the tournament. That's for sure.

I knew Olympiakos was going to win this final. When I saw their performance against Aston Villa and they knock them out from the competition that was when I realized that Olympiakos was going to lift this trophy. They came to England and gave Aston Villa the game of their life, so it's just as if my dream came through. Another thing that's making me happy with this win is that I'm also smiling to the bank because I made a little winning from my bet, because I placed a bet that Olympiakos was going to win the europa conference league. A big congratulations to them, after all the sacrifice they have put in all season it finally paid off and I can feel the joy in the faces of their fans. It's a big win for them.

This is one of the best finals so far this season because the two teams appear to be very mindful of themselves in terms of attack, defense and their performance in general, 0:0 after 71 minutes as at when this post was written and there is still no sign of goal from the two teams and yes we may see a ft 0:0 at the end of the game because the two teams aren't relenting in defense. The two keepers have make notable saves in this game making it t difficult the teams to score but the performance of Fiorentina looks better in the second half because they have made more goal attempts than Olympiacos but the Olympiacos team is enjoying more ball possession in the game. We hope to see one of the team getting a late winner in the game otherwise we may have to see them play extra time before the winner will be decided.

The half-time break is over and the two teams are currently very evenly matched in all aspects, goals, possession and even shots on target, both teams seem to have indeed looked safe play and careful enough that indeed the first half looked very boring and did not look like a final at all in my opinion, I think if playing like that it is certainly not impossible if the winner in today game will probably be decided on penalties, previously I think today final will be very exciting but throughout the first half the game was beyond the expectations we expected from the final.I hope in the second half we will see both teams increase the intensity of their game, so that they can indeed destroy each other and of course it will give us an interesting spectacle today, but until the second half match has entered the 59nd minute, but so far there is no sign that the game will be different from the first half because both coaches do not seem to have significant changes in tactics and strategy right now.

It is nice to see someone sharing the same idea with me.
I have seen most people favouring Fiorentina to lift the trophy but I think it isn't going to be that simple. Olympiacos can't be underrated after all that effort. Their performance against Aston Villa blew my mind. Who would have expected that? As a result, why wouldn't they beat Fiorentina too indeed!However I must confess, it has been the most boring final ever until now.
The broadcast is open but I'm mostly keeping it on my background to hear only the sound of the commentator.As for Chelsea, I agree. It is very early. They are even bringing a new coach, Enzo Maresca. We don't even know what they will do with him. It might have been easier to answer that if Pochettino stayed.

I think you're making the right decision because Fiorentina really had a lucky run until final and I won't be surprised to see them losing back 2 back Conference finals. Also , worth to mention that Olympiakos deserves to play this final and also deserves to win and for the city it will mean a lot as panathinaikos just won Euroleague at basket and I'm sure Olympiakos fans will make a superb atmosphere at their home ground in order to put mega pressure on Fiorentina.

This thread might attract the interest of Chelsea fans looking ahead to next season. Many fans, myself included, aren't familiar with the Conference League, but there are always opportunities for betting on any games.
This competition doesn't seem to be the right one for Chelsea, but it's much better than last season without any European competition at all, I'm pretty sure Chelsea will be the biggest favorites this season, especially since they have reshuffled the coaching staff and with a new coach, so there will be new enthusiasm, but like Liverpool who were very favorites in the European league but failed, Chelsea's opportunity to fail is still there and maybe because they don't see this competition as the best for them to achieve.I personally believe that we should probably realize Chelsea may not do as well as expected because it is common that in European competitions things aren't that same. I bet that they will be at quarter finals or even semi finals but then things will get harder.
