The priest, who officiated the ceremony ahead of the new season on Monday evening at the “Pavlos Giannakopoulos” arena, quickly became the star of the event.
Following the blessing, he roused the crowd by singing a well-known Panathinaikos chant, energizing the entire arena.
He then took it a step further, grabbing a ball and taking a shot to the cheers and applause of the crowd.
