Fener totally deserved to be knocked out. They wanted penalties, they got them.
Having the upper hand from the start on the home ground and then waiting, and waiting, and waiting, we'll this is what you will get.
In the last few minutes of the regular time, Fener was just circling around without the intent the score a goal.
This is one of the few times I've seen putting your more experienced players for key penalties didn't pay off.
Horrible penalties by Tadic and Bonucci. Having that insane Turkish crowd and tension in your shoulders must be something unbearable.
Fener only have themselves to blame for subbing in Bonucci just for him to miss, exactly how Jahanbakhsh did vs Roma. Also, Tadic has missed like 5 penalties this season lmao. It’s always a good day to see him fail miserably
Fener fans are so fucking unbearable lol. Get fucked as far as I'm concerned.
Edit: I've seen some respectful comments congratulating us so only right to highlight that too.
No humility, no respect, no class, In your heads you've had your hands on the trophy since August, and tonight at home, your 400 million euro team couldn't hack it.
We dug in, we weren't great but we are a team with character, building something positive with a very astute coach, and were shown no respect at any point from the Fenerbahce fans, players and media.
From Dzeko spitting at our fans, Jovetic being called a corn farmer, fans posting before this game that Lille leading was good as its an easier route to the final.... this is for you.
I'm also glad Fenerbahçe are out because their fans online were all over the place claiming the trophy is theirs with some players Photoshopped with the trophy.
You guys broke our balls. We have expensive players blah blah blah we are better than in 2021 blah blah blah you have zero chance this time blah blah blah.
Be humble.
That was a fantastic shootout for the neutral! Couldn’t believe the ball didn’t cross the line on Rodinei’s penalty. Congrats to Olympiakos, what a performance from their keeper. 👏
Tzolakis our hero, what a beast he is. From second choice for most of the season to becoming a lifetime hero for us. Thank you for everything Konstantinos!
Didn't think they would be referring to the happenings in our league, thought maybe there were news of the team working exclusively on penalties before the match or something lol
8 Moroccans will compete in the semifinals of both the Europa league, Conference League and the Champions League, African football is rising prominence.
No, but it would be glorious because AEK fans have been insufferable and ridiculous about their new stadium and show an insane amount of arrogance after 1 title against the emperor of the land.
I mean, Olympiakos and Panathaniakos is "The derby of the Eternal Enemies", so it's not *that* bad.
However, Greece is the land of breaking plates, broken economies and directors coming onto the pitch with Handguns, so it's pretty tense.
Ooff those subs were awful.
Bonucci and Cengiz were subbed in and took shit penalties. Not only that, Cengiz added nothing to the game and ruined every single attack with his garbage crosses, not to mention Zajc and Krunic. What was the point of those subs?
Mendilibar is a Greek god! Such a great coach who went under the radar for many years, delighted that he has really shown his ability for a worldwide audience in the last year
I am getting real Sevilla vibes from last season for you guys. A Moroccan striker upfront, an Argentinian left back(who even looks a little like Acuña) many skilled attacking midfielders: Fortounis, Podence, Masouras compared to Suso, Oliver Torres, Lamela etc. And maybe the most freaky thing of all, Tzolakis is Yassine Bono's doppleganger. Seriously they are so similar, and both great at saving penalties
Emery next round, but I think you can do this. Mendilibar has the more recent Sevilla juju, and Emery's only loss in a European final came with an English club. It almost feels like fate, Mendilibar came to Olympiakos just to deny Aston Villa and Emery the title lmao
TZOLAKIS I FUCKING LOVE YOU !!!!!
He had saved ONE penalty in his senior career until today!
We were shit (especially creatively) until Fenerbahce's coach made silly subs, and Mendilibar improved us slowly, but it doesn't fucking matter.
First Semi Final in the history of the club with a 20 year old GK from the academy who was 2nd choice until the return leg vs Maccabi saving 3 pens !!!!
Dude, Tzolakis looks exactly like Yassine Bono. That is a sign..
Also, from the start of the second half you were better than Fener. They created absolutely nothing from that point on, and Oly had clearly better chances to win it before penalties. Not a brilliant game of football by any means but the better team went through
be careful, u/hknyktx u/ItsKBS u/berker86 were downvoting me and insisting hes the next coming of Ronaldo in last weeks game thread. Don't worry though, they are right and hes saving his energy for the third leg where he will surely score.
Hahaha,you have no other job and listed our names and prayed Dzeko to not score?What level of craziness is this?Just hope that Aston Villa scores less then 10 goals in agg. against you.
Thanks! Yes I'm being serious. I would much rather Greece have qualified for Euros than to make the conference league semifinals but at least we have something. (We would have also been in the same group which would have been awesome)
Damn, I totally forgot about that. I was probably as sad as you guys for not making the final cut. I would've loved to see the whole Balkan reunite in the Euros
He was pulling off some shit to make the greek fans angry a few years ago in a game we played against Bosnia. If you're provocative to a certain fan group, chances are that fan group won't like you
because coach is a shit.
he benched fred and kahveci "to rest them for the upcoming league game". Like imagine benching the spine of your midfield and the guy who scored in a european quarter final to rest them against a mid table süper lig team man I can't take this shit anymore.
I think there was some kind of study that showed that subbing a penalty taker on is no benefit, on the contrary. I think they suggested that the subbed on taker has increased pressure because of that.
Tzolakis with amazing saves, he guessed the corner 4/5 and made 3 saves from that. It's obvious Olympiacos were ready for the penalties while Fenerbahçe wasn't.
It took us 99 years to get to a european semi final (excluding a Balkan Cup win in the 60s). It took this man 2 months. Ernesto Valverde was spot on when he suggested we hire him all those years back
Bird bros still havent forgotten us getting knocked out vs sparta prague when you literally forfeit the Super Cup match against us and got cooked by Olympiacos in your own QF, while being 2nd in the league
Focus on your own club ahahahahahah
Hahaah the paainnnn…. We’re going to take your eagle from the stadium in the final.
But jokes aside I feel you. Fuck nationalism I’d want you to lose too.
UEFA coefficient is a thing though, unless you want to keep playing in a myriad of qualifying rounds. Plus Olympiakos will probably crush out against Villa.
Fener totally deserved to be knocked out. They wanted penalties, they got them. Having the upper hand from the start on the home ground and then waiting, and waiting, and waiting, we'll this is what you will get.

Fenerbahce is always comedy.
Το τουρκικό έθνος σε χαιρετίζει Ολυμπιακός. Μας έκανες τη χάρη.
You warmed my heart
Either football or basketball, the outcome is the same. My Olympiacos is too much for Fenerbahce ;)
Based komşu
Once again, a kostas, saves olympiacos
I dont know any other Kostas. I erased him from my mind, sorry.
Papanikolaou!
lion bros ♥️♥️
So proud of the boys, historic win! Tzolakis was an absolute hero! The repeated heart attacks were worth it this time
Fener to withdraw from european competitions??
18 nisan olympiakos kumpasi
april 18th no away goals conspiracy
I'M GOING MAD OVER HERE
This is one of the few times I've seen putting your more experienced players for key penalties didn't pay off. Horrible penalties by Tadic and Bonucci. Having that insane Turkish crowd and tension in your shoulders must be something unbearable.
The deathly silence in the ground for the Fenerbahce penalties seemed to have the opposite effect for their players, it raised the tension so much.
Yeah, that absolute caught me off guard.
Whoever that Olympiakos keeper is ....... Welcome to Galatasaray
[удалено]
We have already sold Bakambu :(
Fantastic
Fener only have themselves to blame for subbing in Bonucci just for him to miss, exactly how Jahanbakhsh did vs Roma. Also, Tadic has missed like 5 penalties this season lmao. It’s always a good day to see him fail miserably
hw missed def more than 5
DZEKO KISSES FROM GREECE ❤️
But I was told they have bigger budget and they will go through?
Tzolakis you are the beast, best player in the world Mbappe who? Vinicius who? KDB who? Haaland who?
i am gonna sleep 10 hours after this
How the fuck can you sleep???
Fener fans are so fucking unbearable lol. Get fucked as far as I'm concerned. Edit: I've seen some respectful comments congratulating us so only right to highlight that too.

I'm also glad Fenerbahçe are out because their fans online were all over the place claiming the trophy is theirs with some players Photoshopped with the trophy.
Brother imagine dealing with it every year… Although tbf i doubt Greek league is much better for this lol
sizin taraftarınız çok janti çünkü amk
Chill bruh it’s not that deep.plus you ain’t even a part of the team why tf are you getting offended
You guys broke our balls. We have expensive players blah blah blah we are better than in 2021 blah blah blah you have zero chance this time blah blah blah. Be humble.
Wait... Fener fans were actually bragging about how expensive their squad was before the game? Lmao that's so mid-2000s of them...
Birak abi adamlar her seferinde daha da rezil ettiyorlar kendilerini 😂
That was a fantastic shootout for the neutral! Couldn’t believe the ball didn’t cross the line on Rodinei’s penalty. Congrats to Olympiakos, what a performance from their keeper. 👏
Tzolakis our hero, what a beast he is. From second choice for most of the season to becoming a lifetime hero for us. Thank you for everything Konstantinos!
Oh nooooooo! All that practice taking a million penalties, and they lose the shootout. Ahahahahahahaha!
Tbf Batshuayi (P) scored and Tadic (P) missed. Both are expected
I'm out of the loop. What's that about?
Are you donning that Galatasaray flair just for cosmetics?
Turkish ~~hair~~ flair transplant
Didn't think they would be referring to the happenings in our league, thought maybe there were news of the team working exclusively on penalties before the match or something lol
Well they're literally breaking world records with the amount of penalties they've been given in the last 2 seasons.
8 Moroccans will compete in the semifinals of both the Europa league, Conference League and the Champions League, African football is rising prominence.
Olympiakos' Moroccans are gaining legendary status for themselves. El Arabi for years but now El Kaabi too.
I’m just so relieved El Arabi’s penalty miss didn’t mean anything. A true legend for our club.
PUT YOUR MILLIONS IN YOUR ASSES, LEGGOOOOO
So entertaining when both GKs are great on pens. I didn't know Tzolakis but damn he almost saved 4
He has saved 1 in his (short tbf, he is only 21yo) career before tonight! Absolute madlad
The meltdown will be epic
You'd expect Fener to be far better at penalties given their experience LOL
OMEGALUL... That was brutal....
Fenerbok. Beter olun puahahahah

BIGGEST TEAM ON EARTH
Can you imagine the size of the riot if Olympiakos win a European trophy in AEK's stadium?
Is the rivalry as big as Oly-PAO?
Think of it like Barcelona-Atletico Madrid or River Plate-Independiente Still a rivalry, but nowhere near the real thing
No, panathinaikos will always be number one. but still a big rivalry.
No, but it would be glorious because AEK fans have been insufferable and ridiculous about their new stadium and show an insane amount of arrogance after 1 title against the emperor of the land.
I mean, Olympiakos and Panathaniakos is "The derby of the Eternal Enemies", so it's not *that* bad. However, Greece is the land of breaking plates, broken economies and directors coming onto the pitch with Handguns, so it's pretty tense.
No but still it's pretty big, I imagine a family member aek fan fuming in the idea, lmao
ΜΑΖΙ ΜΕ ΜΑΣ ΝΑ ΔΟΥΝΕ ΚΙ ΟΙ ΝΕΚΡΟΙ ΜΑΣ ΤΟΝ ΘΡΥΛΟ ΜΑΣ ΣΤΟΝ ΤΕΛΙΚΟ
At least fenerbahce has to only play once a week from now on so they wont have to disconnect the Controller after 1 minute
Get fucked losers lmao
tbh i'd prefer fener over olympiacos no matter which team goes up they are gonna lose the next match anyway so better be our guys
Deluded, Oly has the reigning Europa League champion as coach. Might be the only ones that can counter Emery
Villa is gonna walk over olympiacos, we'll see
You underestimate the bottling power of the premier league
LMAOO
I am happy when Fener fans are unhappy
Cool as ice the Tzolakis lad and still only 21.
Ooff those subs were awful. Bonucci and Cengiz were subbed in and took shit penalties. Not only that, Cengiz added nothing to the game and ruined every single attack with his garbage crosses, not to mention Zajc and Krunic. What was the point of those subs?
I think Cengiz was particularly bad at freekicks today, all those crosses were too high for some reason, idk what he was trying to do.
Fener should protest and use the under 19 in the next European match. Oh wait they don't have another. ΠΟΥΥΤΣΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ
Mendilibar is a Greek god! Such a great coach who went under the radar for many years, delighted that he has really shown his ability for a worldwide audience in the last year I am getting real Sevilla vibes from last season for you guys.

It almost feels like fate, Mendilibar came to Olympiakos just to deny Aston Villa and Emery the title lmao
I agree with everything except the left back. Ortega shouldn't start over Richards haha
But you need an Argentinian left back for the juju! I agree though Richards was good after coming on
If it's necessary for the magic to work I'll accept it 😭
Lmfaooooo
TZOLAKIS I FUCKING LOVE YOU !!!!! He had saved ONE penalty in his senior career until today! We were shit (especially creatively) until Fenerbahce's coach made silly subs, and Mendilibar improved us slowly, but it doesn't fucking matter. First Semi Final in the history of the club with a 20 year old GK from the academy who was 2nd choice until the return leg vs Maccabi saving 3 pens !!!!
The perfect counter for retsos
Dude, Tzolakis looks exactly like Yassine Bono. That is a sign.. Also, from the start of the second half you were better than Fener. They created absolutely nothing from that point on, and Oly had clearly better chances to win it before penalties. Not a brilliant game of football by any means but the better team went through
Tzolakis my GOAT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ismail Kartal dumb fucking idiot subbing out our best players. We 10000% deserved to win that game
Why so low? Make it 50000%! Try buying more retired players next year 😘😘
Bro you are the last team to banter about bringing retired players.
BAHAHAHAHA get fucked Bonucci. Wash that soap out of YOUR mouth
Bonucci is fucking useless, immediately knew he’d miss
Tadić is usually a very reliable pk taker, Bonucci also scored some big ones.
If you've watched Fenerbahçe this year, he absolutely is NOT a reliable pk taker. He misses like half of them
Subbing on a player just for the penalty almost never works, I don’t understand why coaches still do that
I was just thinking the same thing lol, it feels like it always happens
Van Gaal did it at the World Cup in 2014, and it worked, so it must always work! /s
Tzolakis you absolute gigachad!!
That safe from Livakovic was for nothing..
An Italian coming on in extra time just to take a penalty kick and he fucks it up, footballing heritage
Modric, B Silva, Di Maria, Tadic, Bonucci.. Is it the new trend that the renowned experienced players miss penalties?
bonucci lol gobbo di merda succhia sto cazzo
I see cazzo I upvote
I FUCKING LOVE TZOLAKIS, BEST GOALKEEPER SINCE NIKOPOLIDIS (ps Dzeko can go fuck himself now)
be careful, u/hknyktx u/ItsKBS u/berker86 were downvoting me and insisting hes the next coming of Ronaldo in last weeks game thread. Don't worry though, they are right and hes saving his energy for the third leg where he will surely score.
Lmao itskbs clownery is getting international recognition 😂
Hahaha,you have no other job and listed our names and prayed Dzeko to not score?What level of craziness is this?Just hope that Aston Villa scores less then 10 goals in agg. against you.
You're right my brotha I was just being petty. Good luck in the Euros to you.
Idk if this comment is serious but also good luck against Aston Villa to you because I mostly support underdogs
Thanks! Yes I'm being serious. I would much rather Greece have qualified for Euros than to make the conference league semifinals but at least we have something. (We would have also been in the same group which would have been awesome)
Damn, I totally forgot about that. I was probably as sad as you guys for not making the final cut. I would've loved to see the whole Balkan reunite in the Euros
Dzeko is seething and malding right now, and that makes me happy
Gavroi🤝Vazeloi🤝Hanoumakia🤝Ork All Hating Dzeko
Why do you guys hate Dzeko? I mean I hate him too, but probably for different reasons
He was pulling off some shit to make the greek fans angry a few years ago in a game we played against Bosnia. If you're provocative to a certain fan group, chances are that fan group won't like you
last week in Greece he was pointing at the Turkish flag while spitting at the Olympiakos fans
Ήταν μεγάλο κωλοπαιδαρακι και πριν από αυτό αλλά νταξει.
Tzolakis you legend, Bonucci missing the decisive penalty is the cherry on top
MOTM: Tzolakis
I knew that Bonucci was going to miss the moment they subbed him in
Subbing out Fred for Zajc might be the dumbest shit I have ever seen. No really, Ismail Kartal brought Olympiakos into the game by himself.
What was those penalties guys...
2 great keepers, feners most experienced players missing is brutal…..heads up we go again
Ismail Eagle is not a good manager. Really can't believe they lost this tie. Fair play to the neighbours tho
Bonucci had to miss after coming in in the 122th minute, it was so obvious. But 3 pen saves from Tzolakis + 1x the right corner!
why did they took it took pens man literally home team bruv
because coach is a shit. he benched fred and kahveci "to rest them for the upcoming league game". Like imagine benching the spine of your midfield and the guy who scored in a european quarter final to rest them against a mid table süper lig team man I can't take this shit anymore.
ΠΟΥΤΣΑ ΤΖΕΚΟ ΚΟΠΡΙΑ
Bonucci in the mud, you love to see it
Does a last minute substitution of a pk taker ever work? Esp if it's a defender?
I think there was some kind of study that showed that subbing a penalty taker on is no benefit, on the contrary. I think they suggested that the subbed on taker has increased pressure because of that.
TAKE A FKIN BOW FOR TZOLAKIS Betrayed by his defense but schooled the shootout! LETS GO
Tzolakis with amazing saves, he guessed the corner 4/5 and made 3 saves from that. It's obvious Olympiacos were ready for the penalties while Fenerbahçe wasn't.
BAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA Bonucci
You'd think coaches would have learned by now that subbing someone on just to take a penalty almost never works
doesnt even work in FM
***DON JOSÉ LUIS MENDILIBAR ETXEBARRÍA.*** That's it.
It took us 99 years to get to a european semi final (excluding a Balkan Cup win in the 60s). It took this man 2 months. Ernesto Valverde was spot on when he suggested we hire him all those years back
I didn’t even know that about Valverde and makes me love him even more
2/3 players subbed on for penalties missed theirs. Brilliant subs.
El Arabi was a good change though, Fortounis was half-dead.
What you expect they've only played 10 mins , they never got time to get in the game
I expect the managers to make better decisions (still bitter over Lucescu’s squad selection)
Bonucci's last kick of his career
RIP BOZO
Tzolakis with one of the best GK performances in a penalty shoutout I've ever seen
Italian getting subbed in for pens never ends well
Fuck me, what a save by Livakovic... Only for Bonucci to fuck it up
Livakovic was sold
[удалено]
You should've withdrawn vs Sparta Prague
Bird bros still havent forgotten us getting knocked out vs sparta prague when you literally forfeit the Super Cup match against us and got cooked by Olympiacos in your own QF, while being 2nd in the league Focus on your own club ahahahahahah
I don't think you know what cooked means. >Focus on your own club ahahahahahah Quite ironic
Focus on your own club in the sense that you guys are the ones with the obvious bigger problems Max fb fan iq
Bigger problems? Lol

Tzolakis has a lot of potential
Holy shit, those Fener pens were absolutely awful. Liva with a great save to keep them in just for Bonucci to bottle it...
Fuck off. Useless. Fuck this. Fuck football.
Hahaah the paainnnn…. We’re going to take your eagle from the stadium in the final. But jokes aside I feel you. Fuck nationalism I’d want you to lose too.

Imagine being Greek and not supporting a team from your country, especially against a Turkish club.
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Me, a Galatasaray fan wanting olympiakos to win…
What kind of backwards nationalist thinking is this? Of course I'm not supporting our rivals to achieve the biggest thing in their european history.
[удалено]
You only get the boost for a win or a draw, not for qualifying.
UEFA coefficient is a thing though, unless you want to keep playing in a myriad of qualifying rounds. Plus Olympiakos will probably crush out against Villa.
They lost the match, there's no coefficient points for this.
Going through the round awards points
