Superleague 2025/2026 - Olympiacos vs Atromitos(Antonis Nikolopoulos/EUROKINISSI) Olympiacos did what title winners are supposed to do. They beat Atromitos 3–0, barely slipping into third gear, rarely looking threatened, and rotating just enough to keep legs fresh before one of the club’s most consequential Champions League nights in recent memory. But beneath the comfortable scoreline lies a more complex story — one that reveals both the strength and fragility of this Olympi

If you wanted a single clip to explain who Diogo Nascimento is becoming for Olympiacos, it’s his goal against Kifissia. Playing as one of deeper-lying double pivots — in a system where deeper midfielders are not encouraged to leave their station — carrying the ball from midfield, timing his run into the box, and smashing it above the goalkeeper. It was a moment that felt wrong for a Mendilibar side… and yet completely right for this version of Olympiacos.

The league table looks right again, and Olympiacos sit where they belong — first place in Greece.After a 3–1 win over Kifissia, the Red-and-Whites reclaimed the top spot following Panathinaikos’ win over PAOK, and while the scoreboard says “routine,” the game itself — and the weekend — told a much deeper story.

After one win in four victories and following a difficult to digest result in Barcelona, the AEK derby was a must win. And while Olympiacos didn’t exactly play champagne football at the Georgios Karaiskakis, they did what mattered most — won. A chance to build momentum and restore confidence.

Olympiacos walk into Montjuïc as massive underdogs against the reigning Spanish champions and last season’s UEFA Champions League semi-finalists. But the timing isn’t terrible. Barcelona’s high line has frayed, key attackers are missing or just returning, and the Olympic Stadium’s early kick-off atmosphere (18:45 local) has been flatter than week-old soda. If there’s a window for Thrylos to bloody a heavyweight’s nose, this might be it.

Olympiacos rescued a valuable point in the dying moments of Sunday night’s eternal derby, drawing 1–1 with Panathinaikos at Leoforos. While the performance left much to be desired, a stoppage-time equalizer ensured the Reds spoiled their rival’s party and kept pace in the Super League title race.

After five years of absence, the red and white lights of the Karaiskakis will shine on a Champions League night. Olympiacos welcome Cypriot champions Pafos in the opening fixture of the league phase—a game that feels like a must-win given the heavyweights looming later in the schedule (Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSV, Ajax).

On his (second!) return to the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Daniel Podence reminded us exactly why we fell in love with him. Olympiacos’ little superman returned to a sold-out Karaiskakis, stepped onto the pitch against Panserraikos, and within a heartbeat curled in a golazo from distance before coolly laying on an assist. One minute he was a roar; the next he was a reminder: football is romance, and some love stories are meant to find their way home.

Olympiacos' summer of strategic investment continues — and the latest signing may just be the most intriguing yet. Diogo Nascimento, the Portuguese midfield technician with a ballerina’s grace and a street footballer’s swagger, is officially red and white.

As the heat of July intensifies, so does the pressure on the front office. With preseason in the Netherlands just around the corner, the...

There’s a teenage phenom that's just left the port of Piraeus this summer and Brighton just made him the most expensive sale in Olympiacos history. His name is Charalampos 'Babis' Kostoulas, and if you're a Seagulls supporter wondering why your club just splashed €35 million (plus bonuses and a 20% resale clause) on an 18-year-old with barely a handful of senior appearances, allow us to walk you through it.

In a football world obsessed with ready-made stars and big-money flops, Babis Kostoulas is something refreshingly old-school: a homegrown diamond with sharp edges, brilliant shine, and bags of potential yet to be fully revealed. At just 17, he’s become one of the most talked-about Greek talents of this new golden generation for Greek football.

Olympiacos didn’t just win the league. They took it back. With a swagger, a system, and a squad that matured over the course of the season, Thrylos reminded everyone in Greek football exactly who the top dog is. As we turn the page on the regular season, a 1-0 away win at Panathinaikos put the final punctuation mark on a campaign defined by dominance. And now? The Cup final against OFI looms, with history in the air and a double on the line.

José Luis Mendilibar didn’t come to fix Olympiacos. He came to transform them. When he landed in Piraeus, the club was still reeling from the whiplash of post-Pedro Martins trauma, technical director roulette, and enough underwhelming transfers to fill an entire highlight reel of what not to do in modern football. Olympiacos were a sleeping giant—angry, bloated, and badly in need of a spark.
