Moyes sees a Champions League future for his side

EVERTON manager David Moyes believes both his side and tonight’s opponents Fiorentina represent the future of the Champions League.

The pair meet in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup in Italy tonight but Moyes believes the competition could prove a stepping stone for both clubs.

They occupy similar positions in the Barclays Premier League and Serie A and so are in the hunt to join Europe’s elite next season.
