José Luis Mendilibar was also ecstatic with the crowd, managing to steal the show during the celebrations.
The Olympiacos fans rightfully praised him for the team’s tremendous achievement, and the Basque coach made sure to show his love in return.
He celebrated with the prestigious trophy on the specially designed celebration stage at the Municipal Theater of Piraeus.
“It’s our first, let it not be our last,” said Mendilibar, and he was cheered wildly. Meanwhile, Youssef El Arabi, hearing the crowd chanting his name, lit a flare.
The Spanish coach could hardly believe what he was seeing and experiencing, and he seemed to thoroughly enjoy the adoration of the crowd.
The Olympiacos team departed from Nea Philadelfia at around 3:30 AM and arrived at Syngrou Avenue shortly before 4 AM with the team bus. They then boarded the open-top double-decker bus, heading to the Municipal Theater.
