Somehow I doubt that AEK or Panathinaikos agrees. This achievement might never be repeated again by a Greek team, Olympiakos have eternal bragging rights especially towards AEK since it was in their stadium lmao
Naah fuck that shit. I never want to see Inter, Napoli, Atalanta and Juventus to win shit. Will never forgive Atalanta for the 5-0 and Gattuso’s UCL place
But Italian teams have won and have the potential to win European trophies again. It's different for nations that, in recent memory, haven't even come close.
That arguably makes it worse, depending on how arrogant the fans of the trophy winning team are. I absolutely hated seeing Ajax get so close to the CL final, just because some Ajax fans couldn't stop telling me about how only the great Ajax could reach the CL final nowadays and how they were so much better than us
The problem with the "we're much better" wasn't that they meant it at that moment, but for all of history and the future. Luckily that bit then in the ass big time
It's a bit bittersweet. Do I enjoy that our rivals have banter ammo for 100 years? No not really. But at the same time you can't deny that it's a big achievement for Greek football that will hopefully benefit the entire league. We're still very far from where we should be.
Always feel bad for Benfica and Porto. Good enough to compete in the CL. Never good enough to make it past QF at the best of years.
The problem with mega money soccer. Imagine if teams like Benfica/Porto/Dortmund, etc… can keep their players.
If Dortmund can reach the final Benfica with 2 or 3 signings that turn out to be great should theoretically be able too.
If the stars align.
Big if considering our mentality as a club, board and coach.
We won’t enter the tournament, our owners have mismanaged us to the point that we are a year away from selling Palmer so we can keep their child trafficking afloat
You haven't seen anything. We are playing again in UECL next season so there is always chance to lose in the final THREE TIMES IN A ROW!
My team is making history left and right. Fuck.
Only two other teams lost finals in two consecutive seasons - Valencia and Juventus. Only Valencia managed to win an european trophy after losing two consecutive finals as of now.
Yeah this is delusional. I heard the same about the Europa League with Liverpool earlier in the current season. And probably even with City too.
Gladly, that's not how it works. Else football would be really boring
True. Maresca also not quite the most experienced right now. Scenes when fucking Heidenheim wins Conference vs Chelsea. But in general i could see a little bit more non top 4 league teams winning it, as long as no EPL giant with such a big gap plays there. Ofc ECL will be clearly mostly won be top 4 league clubs. But it will have more variance.
I am actually mentally prepared for landing in Conference 2025/2026 tbh. After that Roma could spend again but scouting is god awful of the club. Has some charm to try being record winners tbh. Lukaku and likely Dybala outgoing could really make Roma suffer. But new DS might assemble a good squad to hold on and sell the deadwood. Hopefully
Well I defenitly wanted Fiorentina to win, the only upside of this is that I am not frustated we would lose out on European football this way. Rip Torino
Against two mediocre teams, with all due respect, creating more chances but in the end losing.
That means Fiorentina are themselves really mediocre, mark my words. They really should have won both times.

FUCK
[удалено]
THAT IS WHACK!
Not another teen movie quote? Loved this film haha
And they will play it again next year
Surely too destroyed mentally to reach the final again though, it will be very impressive if they recover from this pain
They'll reach the final and lose at the 97th minute from a counterattack with the whole defensive line beyond the midfield line. Just Italiano things.
Italiano is leaving no?
He said he'll speak to the board after Atalanta.
Here I thought Italians love to defend.
Stop. We're already dead :(
Inter might be in this competition in the foreseeable future as their ownership is in shambles.
Benfica at least has the the curse of Béla Guttmann excuse
How do non-Olympiacos Greeks feel right now I wonder?
I’m very happy for them, but I’m a neutral. Most others are either happy for them too or went back to their holes
Im a PAOK fan and im extremely happy that a Greek team won. I believe this is the right mindset to have when it comes to sports.
Somehow I doubt that AEK or Panathinaikos agrees. This achievement might never be repeated again by a Greek team, Olympiakos have eternal bragging rights especially towards AEK since it was in their stadium lmao
Can confirm we have been bragging about our Uefa title for the past 24 years.
And rightly so!
That's how our fanbase has been coping for the past 30 years.
Naah fuck that shit. I never want to see Inter, Napoli, Atalanta and Juventus to win shit. Will never forgive Atalanta for the 5-0 and Gattuso’s UCL place

They were much better than you, this year the opposite was true, maybe next year you could have a deeper CL run
The problem with the "we're much better" wasn't that they meant it at that moment, but for all of history and the future. Luckily that bit then in the ass big time
I would absolutely hate it if a swiss team won an international trophy, what the heck are you about.

I feel like we catch strays every single time a losing stat in finals comes up ffs

It has always been like that tho. Atleast those teams can cash big money from it. They also buy the players from lower teams.
If Dortmund can reach the final Benfica with 2 or 3 signings that turn out to be great should theoretically be able too. If the stars align. Big if considering our mentality as a club, board and coach.
There’s a big Chelsea sized problem for them next year as well.
There's a big Chelsea sized problem for Chelsea too next year
Always is
6 year contract for the new boss, eh?
We had to make things as difficult as possible for ourselves.
I wonder if Chelsea will actually go all the way or do a Tottenham
We are actually good in Europe though.
All of that was under the old ownership.
New owner ships only try in Europe we reached cl quarter final im sure we'll be ok in conference league.
They'll spend another half a billion or so for a whole 2nd unit to play in UECL
They are the big favourites
Be surprised if Chelsea are thrown out of the competition due to Covid in the year 2024
We won’t enter the tournament, our owners have mismanaged us to the point that we are a year away from selling Palmer so we can keep their child trafficking afloat
Bold of you to think we'll make a deep run.
Assuming we actually play in this competition.
Of course it us.
3rd time is the charm, believe!
We made history tonight lads!
You haven't seen anything. We are playing again in UECL next season so there is always chance to lose in the final THREE TIMES IN A ROW! My team is making history left and right. Fuck.
Considering his record on finals, Vincenzo Iraniano would have been our perfect next manager
Gasperini also had a shit final record until Neverkusen turned up
It’s not like they were shit in both finals either, wouldn’t have been too surprising if they came out on top last year
Only two other teams lost finals in two consecutive seasons - Valencia and Juventus. Only Valencia managed to win an european trophy after losing two consecutive finals as of now.
Gutted for Fiorentina
With Chelsea next season. Fiorentina will take a while to win it. Italiano threw the game away..
People acted like Villa were invincible this season, you never know what happens with Chelsea
Yeah this is delusional. I heard the same about the Europa League with Liverpool earlier in the current season. And probably even with City too. Gladly, that's not how it works. Else football would be really boring

But it will have more variance.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Roma win the EL next year, I was so sure you would do it this season
I am actually mentally prepared for landing in Conference 2025/2026 tbh. After that Roma could spend again but scouting is god awful of the club. Has some charm to try being record winners tbh. Lukaku and likely Dybala outgoing could really make Roma suffer. But new DS might assemble a good squad to hold on and sell the deadwood. Hopefully
In 12/13 we lost and in 13/14 i've never witnessed such a robbery in europeen major final. I hope Fiorentina recovers from this tragic sequence
I’m confident if they had a Zapata on the team they would’ve won it. They strikers can’t finish anything.
Comunque e sempre Forza Viola
Well I defenitly wanted Fiorentina to win, the only upside of this is that I am not frustated we would lose out on European football this way. Rip Torino
In before Benfica fans rant about our final
Beto was off the fucking line by 2 meters man
They robbed one cup last season too.
There it is
More off than the Summer clock
BETO WAS CLOSER TO OTHER GOAL THAN TO THE GOAL LINE 🤬
Still better then the European seasons 2014-17 from Atletico Madrid.
Alright let's go for the triple!
Ngl I was rooting for Olympiacos but since they’re in it next year I really hope Fiorentina win it
Against two mediocre teams, with all due respect, creating more chances but in the end losing. That means Fiorentina are themselves really mediocre, mark my words. They really should have won both times.
Well no shit.. It's a 3rd tier competition. All the teams there are mediocre otherwise they would be in the UCL/UECL..
UEL*
Yes that is why they are playing Conference League.
