The decider will be at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Thursday May 8. Fiorentina are trying to reach their third consecutive Conference League Final, having lost in both 2023 and 2024 under coach Vincenzo Italiano, but Raffaele Palladino is continuing their strong European showing. Kean is back in the squad after missing the last two Serie A games dealing with a family situation, but not thrown straight into the starting XI. Instead, Beltran starts with Gudmundsson, while Dodo is out after surgery for appendicitis, so Fabiano Parisi steps in.

See photos of Pope Francis' funeral and procession as pontiff is laid to rest
The funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday drew a crowd to St. Peter's Square that included kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers, cardinals and archbishops, as well as hundreds of thousands of devoted followers touched by his commitment to the poor, his defense of the world's migrants, and his outreach to those long marginalized by the church. Though the famously humble pontiff requested simplicity in his wooden coffin and final resting place, the funeral Mass still reflected the grandeur and traditions of the Vatican. See photos below of some of the highlights of the day honoring the leader known as "the People's Pope." Crowd fills St. Peter's Square for Pope Francis' funeral An estimated 250,000 people attended the funeral service outside St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.

"He was a pope among the people, with an open heart towards everyone," Re said of Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88. "The guiding thread of his mission was also the conviction that the church is a home for all, a home with its doors always open."
