The PAE owner emphasized the importance of eliminating Aston Villa with “seven times the budget” and dedicated the historic achievement to two people who have passed away.
Marinaki’s statements
“Tonight, millions of people have not understood what has happened. Olympiacos playing in this final, beating teams that are in the Champions League, teams with seven times the budget and playing the way they play at home or tonight at our home, fills us with great joy, great optimism.
One has to think from which country we started and did this, with which football federation did we do this, with which government did we do this and despite the difficulties we achieved this great dream.
What I want to say is that at first one believed it, then two, and then more. Slowly everyone believed it. We had told the Youth, because this is a greater achievement, to reach the top of Europe. Despite the difficulties, despite what is written, what everyone may be discussing, we have faith in our dreams, we support them with hard work and all together I believe we can conquer the top.
It is a great night, historic for Greek football. Tonight all the Greeks are together. We need them all in a short time, on Greek soil, to lift it all together. It is something we will do for our Greece, for our Legend, for our Piraeus, but above all for our place.
This evening is dedicated to two great Olympians, my father and Savvas Theodoridis. My father raised me with great love for Olympiakos.
From the first day I told Amateur that what we have achieved is unique in Europe. There is no club that stars and wins European trophies like us. There is Barcelona, us and maybe some other teams. We are happy about it and so is our world”.
