West Ham defender Kurt Zouma admits reaching the Europa Conference League final is no surprise to him.
West Ham face Fiorentina in Prague on Wednesday night.
I definitely fully believed in this team's ability to go all the way in this competition, from the very first day," Zouma told whufc.com. Especially after we got to the semi-finals of the Europa League last season.
I still think we could have won that competition too, or at very least got to the final, but you could feel that this time has something very special about it. Reaching this final is a great achievement, and it's one we're all proud of, and now we want to win the game for the fans.

I was pleased to have joined such a great team in 2020; one that had a big goal of wanting to win a final and lift a trophy. The last two seasons, since I've been here, we've done so well in Europe. I knew that we could do it too, and reaching the final is great. But now it's time to think about the game itself, enjoy the game, and win it."
