Europa League Preview: Fiorentina - Dynamo Kiev

Serie A side Fiorentina has stumbled domestically in recent weeks, and Manuel Pasqual wants it to bounce back in the UEFA Europa League.

Fiorentina captain Manuel Pasqual has called for a response to its defeat to Verona in Thursday's UEFA Europa League quarterfinal second-leg clash with Dynamo Kiev.

Vincenzo Montella's men go into the second leg holding the advantage of an away goal following a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Ukraine.

But the Serie A outfit also approaches the contest in disappointing form having failed to win in its last four matches.

Monday's 1-0 home loss to Verona - in which it conceded a 90th-minute winner - saw Fiorentina drop out of the Europa League qualification places for next season.
