06/09/2024

Panathinaikos makes a triumphant return to the titles after seven years.

Panathinaikos finished the 1976 season in the 4th position finding himself excluded from European Competitions.

They were the first that did it!

Twelve years later, the collaboration between Zacharias Pitichoutis and Haris Grammos' ...head, offered the fourth Cup in Panathinaikos' history. Panionios was the opposing team in a final refereed by Italian Peroni.

Panathinaikos was, once more, the winner of the Cup, meeting Olympiakos... his eternal rival! The trophy was gained by tossing the coin; the task was done by game's referee Christos Michas. The final against Olympiakos was already concluding its extra time; final penalty procedure wasn't introduced yet.

Remaining during eight years without winning a Championship was too much for Panathinaikos. The team finally gained one after great efforts and strong battles till the last match!

Panathinaikos won one more "double", as additionally to the Championship the team gained also the Cup.

The same team which competed in the previous season did it again! This time things were much harder though, especially against AEK, as competition during the five last rounds was tough.

Panathinaikos won 1994-95 seasons' Championship like a storm.

Tradition goes on for Panathinaikos... who wins his third consecutive Cup, prevailing again over AEK, in the "revenge" of the previous final. Krzysztof Warzycha scored a penalty he gained from Vlachos.

Panathinaikos was once again the undeniable protagonist of this match, as the final score showed! AEK was unable to react after the first half.

In a turmoil and animated final, Panathinaikos prevails over ΑΕΚ in the heart-rending penalty procedure and wins the Cup again.

One more Cup for Panathinaikos in that competition, which was also a revenge for the defeat from AEK at the final of that same competition, four years ago.

Krzysztof Warzycha's goal and one more, which was disallowed, is all what the 64.532 fans that watched the match, are going to remember... Panathinaikos prevailed over his eternal rival and won, once more, the second most important trophy of the country!

One more "double" is gained as Panathinaikos won a Cup, playing against Aris. Sebastian Leto is the great figure of the match, scoring by a strong diagonal shoot from far away.
