The fourth round of the Conference League championship phase provided several surprises, above all the defeat of Betis Sevilla on the Mlada Bolesav pitch. Mission accomplished for Fiorentina, who beat Paphos and are already sure of at least playing in the playoffs. The Viola are currently sixth, three points behind leaders Chelsea, who continue their clear path and also move on to Germany, home to Heidenheim.
