He AEK Athens of Matias Almeyda is one step away from becoming the next champion of Greeceafter they won on the penultimate day of the Greek league against Aris Thessaloniki and, until this Monday, first in the table, Panathinaikos, lost to their historic rival, Olympiacos, (1-0).
Thus, AEK rose to the top of the table after beating Aris 2-1 in Thessaloniki with one game remaining in the league.
Some 10,000 AEK fans gathered in front of the club’s Opap Arena stadium in Athens to celebrate like they already won the titlesince the last game will be at home and against the last one in the table, Volos NFC.
The requirement to turn
The club only needs a drawsince they have left Panathinaikos three points behind, with whom they were tied on 77 points until this Monday.
Almeyda took the reins of AEK in May 2022 and managed to restore the lost dynamism to the teamwhich according to many analysts is the Greek club that played the best football this season.
AEK was founded in 1924 by Greek migrants who came to Athens from Constantinople. Since then he has managed to win the Greek Cup several times and 12 leagues, the two most recent in 2018 and 1994. Maybe 13 is not an unlucky number.
