It is something in football that has been a bit underrated, medical staff and fitness. History too in the conference league, as 0lympiakos reached their first european final. They completed a 6 2 Aggregate Win over aston villa to become the first greek side since their rivals, panathanaikos, in 1971 to make a major continental final, when theyll play fiorentina in athens, just ten miles from their own stadium.
