De Laurentiis determined for Napoli to lift Coppa Italia

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis is looking forward to their Coppa Italia final with Fiorentina.

Napoli met with Pope Francis yesterday.

"It's been a significant day for us and Fiorentina," ADL told reporters outside the Vatican.

"We have both given Pope Francis a shirt with the No.1 on it.

"I said goodbye to [Fiorentina counterpart] Andrea Della Valle afterwards. We are friends and business associates.

"We're also linked because we came through the lower Leagues and struggled to get where we are now.

"Tomorrow's going to be a good game. May the best team win."
