Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi admits the players are floored after their Europa Conference League final to West Ham.
The Hammers won 2-1 thanks to Jarrod Bowen's final minute strike.
It hurts a lot. Finding the words to describe the horrible sensation we have within us right now is very difficult," Biraghi told Sky Sport Italia.
We are dead inside, especially because we are the protagonists on the field, but we carry with us an entire city that over the last two or three weeks has shown how important Fiorentina is for them. We played for them too and the greatest sadness is returning empty-handed.
What hurts even more is that West Ham weren't irresistible, but we'll analyse the game later."
Biraghi was struck by a missile thrown from the West Ham end in the second-half, but he shrugged off the incident.
I don't feel that I need to say anything. I am not judging them, but I hope someone does their job and deals with them."
