Toni Predicts Bayern-Fiorentina Final

Bayern Munich hitman Luca Toni has predicted a Champions League final this season against former club Fiorentina.

The 31-year-old joined the Bavarians last year from the Viola, and had an absolutely stunning debut campaign, scoring 39 goals in all competition.

This coming season will be Toni’s first-ever in the Champions League and, in an interview with Calcio 2000, he was asked how he thought the Italian clubs would do.

"The Italians are always among the favourites to win the Champions League,” the Italy international explained.

“Inter and Roma come first, but there is also Juve and Fiorentina.”

Toni then predicted the possibility of a final against former club Fiorentina, a team he scored 47 goals for in just 67 games between 2005 and 2007.

"A Bayern-Fiorentina final in Rome is not a utopia,” he stated, “simply because in football there are no utopias.

“For sure Bayern, historically, are a club who are more accustomed to being a protagonist in certain competitions, but Fiorentina are carrying out an important project, and are achieving some excellent results. I would not be surprised if we were to meet in the final.”

Toni concluded by revealing that he hopes to play again in Italy before he decides to retire from the game.

"It is difficult to say right now, but the only thing I am sure about is that I would like to conclude my career in my country," he noted.
