PRAGUE: Thousands of West Ham United fans descended on Prague on Tuesday ahead of the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina, filling local pubs and singing in the streets as they celebrated throughout the historic city centre.
West Ham supporter Holly Turbutt hoped for a"miracle" to land a ticket but said she has resigned herself to watching the match in one of the fan zones the city has erected for those unable to get into the stadium. Fiorentina, who lost to Real Madrid in the second European Cup final in 1957, won the first edition of the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup in 1961. They lost in the final the next season and lost to Juventus in a two-legged UEFA Cup final in 1990.
"So, I know it's a lot of money but for me the opportunity is worth it, really, because as I say, this is certainly once in a generation and for some people it's once in a lifetime, really," Maddy said outside a pub in the centre.
