Runners-up Olympiacos SFP return after drama in last season’s final
With 10 seconds left in the return leg of Olympiacos SFP’s first European final in May, it seemed like a party was about to happen, with the Greek side having turned a four-goal deficit around in front of 7,500 frenetic spectators. Yet, Magnús Óli Magnússon had other plans, sending the final into a penalty shootout, which Valur won 5:4.
At first, this defeat hurt. However, after a few days, Olympiacos looked back proudly on the season of the Greek champions. Savvas Savvas (81 goals) and Ivan Slišković (56 goals) ranked first and fifth in the top-scorer list last season.
If the club were able to reproduce this, it would be possible for the sports director’s goal to become a reality. They start their campaign on Saturday 19 October at 17:00 CEST as they host HC Fivers WAT Margareten.
“My big vision for the next few years is for Olympiacos to have won a European title,” said Grigoris Sanikis after the previous season.
