Olympiacos made history by winning the Europa Conference League, becoming the first Greek club to secure a major European trophy. The final, held at the AEK Arena in Athens, saw Olympiacos triumph over Fiorentina 1-0 after extra time. The decisive goal came from Ayoub El Kaabi in the 116th minute, following a lengthy VAR check. El Kaabi's goal was his 14th in European competitions this season. This victory marks a significant achievement for Greek football, nearly twenty years after Greece's national team won the European Championship. Fiorentina, on the other hand, faced heartbreak for the second consecutive year, having lost last year's final to West Ham United. Olympiacos achieved this feat under their third coach of the season, with club owner Evangelos Marinakis lifting the trophy.
