West Ham have a chance to win their first European trophy since 1965 on Wednesday night when they face Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final in Prague.
Pablo Fornals netted a 94th-minute winner against AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League semi-final second leg last month to secure West Ham's spot in the final of the competition, and the Hammers will face Italian side Fiorentina after their 4-3 aggregate win over Basel. Like David Moyes' side, I Viola missed out an a European spot in the league this season, meaning the only way either club could secure a Europa League spot next season is by winning on Wednesday.
The last time the Hammers lifted a European title was in 1965, with Alan Sealey scoring twice to beat 1860 Munich 2-0 in the European Cup Winners’ Cup. West Ham reached the final of the same competition in 1976, but they fell to a 4-2 defeat against Anderlecht.
