Olympiacos have made it to the UEFA Youth League final following their semi-final victory over Nantes, becoming the first Greek side to do so.
They will now face AC Milan Monday's final in Nyon after both came through to the last-four via penalty shoot-outs. The win means that the Thrylos are only the second Greek club to reach a UEFA final, with the last being Panathinaikos’ entry in the 1970/71 European Cup.
Olympiacos are rich in young talent, with a number of scouts watching over their match with the French outfit on Friday.
