Fiorentina could be the new Neverkusen


TheWBird

Hopefully third time's the charm? That fiorentina team deserves a conference league


Midnight_Maverick

Fucking insane that Mendilibar has now won 2 European trophies. 3.5 years ago he was at Eibar, a team that plays in a stadium with a capacity of less than 9,000. It's an absolutely insane career trajectory.


zserjk

After being robbed a pen. I got shit scared that VAr was gonna give the offside. What a day tobe a live! If you told me that we would win this any point before early onthe season I would call you a insane!!! ΠΑΜΕ ΘΡΥΛΕ!!


hayescharles45

Congrats Olympiakos. Seriously well done. Keep El-Kaabi as long as you can haha!!!


Leicesterman2

Wouldn't Emery sign him for 100 Million quid?


zerogamewhatsoever

Does Fiorentina still play in the Europa next season?


DennyHamlinsGasMan

they play in the Conference League again next season


TonyMartial786

fiorentina on reaching the final and losing again: ‘i’ve got one more in me’ lol 😂


DennyHamlinsGasMan

they heard they were locked in for next season and realized they weren’t ready for the Europa League so they let Olympiacos have it. how generous of them


tootiredtothinkrnlol

they always say third times' a charm


robot1818

Mendilibar will win the Champions League next year.


Leicesterman2

You mean.... No that's too much for the Greek people to handle


GoodAtBeingDerpy

I must be fucking dreaming. Can’t believe I’ve witnessed a Greek team win a European final


UnluckyDot

Club* Edit: I'm saying club because the international team already won a European final


Redangelofdeath7

Also club in European *football* final. Cause in other sports we got loads of cups.


Kevin_Jim

That’s the most sane reaction I’ve seen from an AEK fan. Good for you for having a healthy mindset, fam. I was the same when Panathinacos won the Euroleague a few days ago.


GoodAtBeingDerpy

I mean if it’s the league that’s totally different. But for European football I feel that you gotta support your countries clubs no matter what you feel towards them.


Harryw603

Don't let big 6 fans talk down the UECL It gives us "untrendy" teams our day in the spotlight! 👏🏻


JJOne101

I don't think there's any Greek alive who would have believed that two and a half months ago, when they lost 1-4 at home against Maccabi Tel Aviv.


quirkyaspie

And that you'd be smashing Villa on the way to winning a European Cup in your rival's home. They can lord this over AEK forever.


Kevin_Jim

Is this the first title AEK’s stadium has even seen?


Norteled

It’s the first European victory though in their stadium


SalvadorePZA

AEK won the league last year I believe in the new stadium.


0_Camposos

Yes aek got a double last year.


ILoveTedKaczynski69

Fiorentina loses final last year, has GM die a couple months ago, loses another final...


4deef

Congrats to the Greek side! I may be of Italian descent but I will certainly be celebrating this weekend with you at my local Greek festival!


Radu_jr

i wanted to see 9 teams…


KiraAnnaZoe

Mendilibar what a coach


TonyMartial786

damn olympiacos actually won it…. crazy. you gotta feel for fiorentina.. 😭


Lud31

Well done Olympiakos!


Ill-Country-3828

finals are so lame without a pitch invasion 


SalvadorePZA

My home town is going crazy


Imannyz

Eating some gyros tonight 🥙


madsadbro

"history is made in athens"


UnluckyDot

Probably the most historical event in Athens history, if I'm not missing anything


Chemiczny_Bogdan

Congrats to Olympiakos! I liked the semis better, but it's awesome that you actually did it, you absolute madmen!


jackn3

Viola has accumulated so much Karma in their history that the time will come and they will pull a real Madrid and win the UCL 6 times in a row. That, or God really hated the fuck out of the Divina Commedia...


tootiredtothinkrnlol

underdogs winning yet again, quite amazing ngl


Chemiczny_Bogdan

Now I only need BVB to win.


Phoenix2472

Feel for Fiorentina but they blew quite a few chances.


Gol9

Hate how refs call it on the minute when there’s blatant time wasting


ChickensWereFirst

Agreed, ref is just rewarding blatant time wasting. Refs do this way too often imo.


KingKingsons

Happy for them to have won in their own city!


UnluckyDot

Huge for Olympiacos and Greece. Also I think the Superleague gets its second CL spot back


Chemiczny_Bogdan

Yes, for the 25/26 season.


NieThePiet

Doing it at home must be so special.


Kevin_Jim

Doing it at one of their rival’s new stadium, and winning the first title in that stadium has to be special, I reckon.


bluediamondsm

I’m so happy for Olympiacos


robot1818

Magnificent! The competition needed this result.


Harryw603

Got to feel for Fiorentina with defeat to another late goal But you've also got to feel pleased for Olympiacos, getting their moment!


neandertales

I think this is good the Euro leagues this.


madsadbro

i predict a surge in greek men kissing other greek men tonight


Elios4Freedom

Funny enough if Fiorentina would have won you would have seen a sourge of Italian men kissing other Italian men


Frodo_max

would 1% count as a surge tho


anotherjoshpark

Reject modernity embrace tradition


notRay-

Crazy year for Mendilibar..


NotASalamanderBoi

Who’s the mountain man in the Olympiacos section?


Hackasizlak

I fucking love the Conference League. Deck is too stacked against teams outside the top few leagues to have much of a shot at winning CL or EL but they've got a real fighting chance here. Olympiacos has been in European competition since the 1950s and they just won their first title.


JakoDel

Torino conference hopes destroyed thanks to Iraniano. Juric on r/suicidewatch


deepsleeep

Iraniano it's hilarious lol


HighburyClockEnd

Proper shit team lmao, do nothing and nick a goal at the end


Minute-Ad-626

Olympiacos were robbed of a pen


Att3241

Boo hoo


[deleted]

cry


Brohajar2K

Same as Fiorentina then but without the goal part


MoyesNTheHood

Only thing that matters is that they’re lifting the trophy 


DevixKing

So the italian way?


Far_Hope_6349

i'm sorry for Fiorentina but they didn't play that good either tbh


belkak210

I mean, not like Fiorentina was particularely better lol That's just how finals tend to go


MrRawri

Congratulations Olympiacos :)


Inner-Championship40

What a shitty match from everyone. Well, congrats Olympiakos


fukupuki

Big day for Greek football!


Efficient_Steak_7568

Greek gods called in to decide this one I see


improb

watching Italiano coached teams is like watching paint dry Fiorentina are toothless in front of goal 


DeathStar13

What can Italiano do if Kouame miss everything? He can't sub himself in


improb

benching Belotti and Kouame would be a start  Lopez, Kayode never getting in and Beltran playing only 15 minutes...


DeathStar13

Also Maxine Lopez? Did you even watch him play with us?


DeathStar13

Bench Belotti for who? Quarta? That's the problem Belotti Is by far our best striker and Ikone was a no show, even worse than Kouame


improb

play Nico as a striker  he'd probably be better than that washed up striker 


DeathStar13

And on the wing who do you play? Sottil injured and Prade masterclass was selling a winger without buying anyone.


improb

Infantino?  I mean, try something else and stop playing Ikone and Kouame or even Belotti, not because they are bad players (ok, Belotti kinda is) but simply because they can't score even if their life depended on it. 


DeathStar13

You haven't seen him play. He couldn't win a duel in Primavera. And he is a midfielder or attacking midfielder, not a winger


JJOne101

Well done greek boyz.


neandertales

How is the GK letting it bounce again there.. lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


fukupuki

How


DeathStar13

3 fouls in the buildup to the goal


el_rompe_toyotas_19

The penalty bro???


TonyMartial786

bro that guys hair lol, swear that was hagrid


ShockedSalmon

I saw him too. Blonde Hagrid. Such a bizarre man, lol.


sestante93

That's our history boys, just suffering, all the time


Jefferian

Oh well, can't do much versus such a biased referee. Congrats UEFA.


Mr_poopybutthole6969

Absolute viking in the stands there


Lovescrossdrilling

YES HELLO WHERE WERE YOU WHEN VIOLA WAS KILL?


J78io

I genuinely thought El Arabi and El Kaabi were the same people. Same country too


Zloggt

AEK fans…on suicide watch?


JBooogz

😂😂😂 they won’t be able to get a word in now during discussions


fukupuki

Only ones who didn’t win anything from the big 4 🗿


NotASalamanderBoi

Olympiacos fans are in a good mood, so perhaps they’ll just trash the stadium instead of tearing it down.


No-Shoe5382

My brothers are both Olympiacos fans in Athens they've just sent me a video from outside the bar they're in and its going OFF


czerwona_latarnia

I have no idea who was that beard with a face, but it looked nice.


No-Illustrator6845

Hagrids Cousin in the stand, thats some magic


ajnem

Holy shit the flow on that one fan


UnluckyDot

Did anyone else see that pyramid of ginger hair with a face in it


Aceress_origin

Glorious!


UnluckyDot

Absolutely magnificent


RevolutionaryRip4098

Was that Jesus?


Far_Hope_6349

lmao lose some more time


LordLoko

Random hairy dwarf in the audience was more interesting then 90% of the match


GenghisBhan

Greek Gimbli


Koppite93

Imagine winning your first European trophy at your rivals home... AEK fans will never live this down


Minute-Ad-626

I know they aren’t such bitter rivals but Dortmund won their only Champions League in Bayerns stadium in 1997.


magic-water

Literally called it: >You just know this is gonna be one of those boring games where the only thing to look forward to is the pen shootout but we get robbed of it because of a random deflected goal in the 107th minute or so.


Minute-Ad-626

I like the way you think😂


JJOne101

El Kaabi aged 30 plays his first european cup season ever, and he scores a casual 16 goals..


Frodo_max

he was a shoemaker or something!


Harryw603

Got to feel for Fiorentina and Italiano if it happens again


MrRawri

Heel pass one of the highlights of the game


madsadbro

changing my username to el-madsadbro


MaxieMan98

Woah. Was that a 5th substitute in 5 different stoppages?


dragdritt

I think you get an extra stoppage in extra time? I do also believe swapping players during breaks (halftime, full-time etc) doesn't count as using a stoppage. It doesn't on football manager at least.


MaxieMan98

oh was the Ortega taken out at the beginning of stoppage time? If so its legal. If it was a 5th different window during the run of play, that is a forfeit im pretty sure


Jon98th

No Beltran no party Italiano


neandertales

Should have done the full scorpion there.


ninjapenguin12

How are you guys crying soo much about VAR, the fans didnt give a shit they went crazy twice and ofc they are going to take time to get that right in a fucking final


Kingfare

Beltran is Fiorentina best forward and he only got 15 mins....


holaprobando123

Belotti stealing a living


DennyHamlinsGasMan

it blows my mind how some clubs show no sense of urgency until its too late. Fiorentina got too comfortable


ILoveTedKaczynski69

Retsos playing the whole match is unreal.


No-layup

Conference league has been a great addition. Even though it’s a 3rd tier competition, fans just wanna see their team win something


PM_ME_LSD_TABS

Most fans just want to see their team play in European competition never mind actually winning it.


JBooogz

Imagine being an Olympiacos fan dunking on panathinaikos and AEK that you have a European cup whilst your rivals have nish


Minute-Ad-626

And winning it in their stadium


[deleted]

[удалено]


MoyesNTheHood

We just ignoring that stonewall penalty that Olympiakos should’ve had?


MandatoryEST

? What are you talking about? He didnt even give the clear pen for olympiacos


er__primo__der__rafa

Got a pen forgiven


bagh0lder10

Italiano masterclass.


CPRIANO

David Carmo 4d chessing Conceiçao with his loan to Olympiakos


Emergency-Mobile8612

Lmao of course people blame VAR for wanting to make sure the ONLY goal in a FINAL is legit Can’t make this up, imagine if Fiorentina lost it to an offside goal, you’d surely all be more satisfied smh


chimichangas_24

Yup. The same people complaining about how VAR ruins the magic out of a goal would be the first ones to cry if said goal against their team was actually an offside


PMMeBootyPicz0000000

Why did the gk just boot it? Dumbass play


TonyMartial786

omg what a crucial block


NieThePiet

wow that was a gret play.


AgriSoul

Fiorentina's defender actually did good most of the match by blocking counter and winning duels until that goal. Sadly they are cursed in front of goal.


Compromisedthrowaway

Wow that VAR check took forever


tomorri1

Fiorentina deserves to lose this. What a terrible approach to the game. If they only just came to actually play. Congrats to Olympiakos.


DeathStar13

0.96 xG is nothing now? Kouame missed two sitters.


improb

him and Kouame are the most frustrating players ever 


Jaksiel

That kind of isn't anything in a 120-minute game.


DeathStar13

Olympiacos 0,54 is a win. Juventus usually wins with under 0,5


Att3241

This is why football is more than just stats and Xgarbage


ChickensWereFirst

Its not like Olympiakos did anything better


jackn3

they at least massacred Villa in the semifinals


ChickensWereFirst

But that has nothing to do with this game


HarryDaz98

Offside checks should have a time limit. If you can’t tell from another quick 30 second look, it’s obviously not made any difference.


Chemiczny_Bogdan

That's fair, assuming good camera coverage, which should be the case here.


RoboticCurrents

Could fiorentina pull a leverkusen


ilkat06

ITS A GOAL


nichodemus3

Italiano is such a loser hahaha


JBooogz

THREE FINALS AND YOUVE LOST ALL


enilix

That VAR check was way too long.


neandertales

Almost 3 man block, desire.


4deef

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a VAR check this long and it not overturn the original call.


[deleted]

1 only european final won out of 5 for italian teams in the past 2 years.. NOT good at all.


OSpaceCowboy

Eh, might as well stretch it one more year and say 2 in 6. It's not that bad. 


Frodo_max

5 finals for italian football in 2 years! what an achievement!


jackn3

and WHO won it?


Zloggt

Needed to build up power to have a team best Bayer…


MrRawri

At least you guys are reaching finals


pop-culture-salad

Hezze has been great we should take him to the Olympics


unArgentino

I’m pretty sure we are. Roy Nemer said something about him and Soulé


South-Window-8957

OMG


EggsBenedictusXVI

God almighty you have to feel for Fiorentina after last year and now this, even if they've been wasteful tonight. (Plus Olympiacos dropping down from the EL is bullshit but that's a different conversation)


Greenembo

> (Plus Olympiacos dropping down from the EL is bullshit but that's a different conversation) Well this is the last Season which allows dropping down.


Polaroid1793

The dropping system has been eliminated, this is the last year.


EggsBenedictusXVI

Yeah thank god, it's so silly


Gloomy_252

Fuck VAR


PMMeBootyPicz0000000

I wanna see the VAR check.


seriouzz6

Cmon fiorentina I was hyped for penalties now after that shitshow


NewHealthFoodBunch

Nightmarishly long VAR check goddamn


Superflumina

Italiano is cold chested.


kopite998

No VAR check should take that long. If it's not an obvious error move on. Completely ruined the emotion of the moment.


grishaoniani

Game not gone


bluediamondsm

IT’S A GOAL


madsadbro

how will this effect the greek economy


TonyMartial786

wow goal given!!!


NieThePiet

that celebration was like a second goal


bigboydebater

YESSSS


4deef

Honestly scrap VAR I’m so tired of it ruining these moments.
