Olympiacos dramatically beat Aston Villa and will play in the Conference League final

In another European football club tournament, the participants in the decisive match have already been determined.

Olympiacos made the main sensation of the European Cup season. The Greek team will play in the Conference League final. In the semi-finals, the club from Piraeus beat Aston Villa.

Despite the fact that the British were considered clear favorites, Olympiacos defeated their opponent twice. After a loss at home 2:4, the day before the Birmingham team lost 0:2 in Greece. Forward Ayoub El-Kaabi scored a double in this game, scoring in the 10th and 81st minutes. In total, the Moroccan scored 5 of Aston Villa’s 6 goals.

Let’s remember that Olympiacos is now coached by Spaniard Jose Luis Mendilibar, who won the Europa League with Sevilla last season.

In the final, the Greek club will play Fiorentina, who knocked Brugge out of the tournament the previous day. Last year, the Violets also played in the last match of the Conference League, and then lost to the English West Ham.
