Fiorentina met Real Betis for the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals second leg on Thursday.
The game ended with a 2-2 draw, which meant Real Betis qualified for the final with a final score of 3-4 on aggregate.
Although this result is disappointing for Fiorentina and their fans, keeping their chances until the last minute against a powerful Spanish side like Real Betis means that Fiorentina did not perform badly at all in both legs.
More importantly, Fiorentina were exceptional and decisive in terms of set-pieces as they scored both goals from set-pieces in this second leg.
That’s why this tactical analysis article will mainly cover Fiorentina’s set-piece strategies and their application in this match, based on episodes of some of the most remarkable set-pieces, including the two goals.
The analysis will also include a section studying Real Betis’ effective counterattacking plans and their successful usage in this match.
Nico Williams was very close to signing for Barcelona in the summer of the Euros, but he chose to stay at Athletic Bilbao one more season to improve further and get consistent minutes.
But as the 2024/2025 season has progressed, he’s been on a few more clubs’ radars, and transfer rumours have swirled about him going to the Premier League as well.
There have been rumours of teams like Arsenal or Chelsea trying to sign the player, and Barcelona has still kept its interest.
His relationship with the Spanish players there makes it more likely for him to stay in Spain.
The 22-year-old, 181cm youngster is one of the most explosive wingers in the world, and with a few more years, he could be the best winger on the planet.
In this player analysis, we will take a look at how he fits in the Athletic Club system, how he would fit at either Arsenal or Barcelona since those are his strongest links, and his potential as a player.
