Among so many ups and downs that this year’s football season has given us, it also left a good impression. He refuted those who see conspiracies and predetermined outcomes everywhere.

For a month now, since the defeat of Olympiacos in Leoforos and the simultaneous collapse of PAOK in New Philadelphia, experts have been confident in the final classification and distribution of European tickets. They also found “alliances”. AEK – PAOK and “eternal” against them.

Their first celebratory denial came when the Red-Whites thrashed Panathinaikos and stripped them of the title. But they were not discouraged. They were sure that AEK – coupled with their easy win in a match played by PAOK with ten men in the whole match – would not “make” the Cup final, so the “Two-Headed North” would get a ticket to the Europa League.

To cut to the chase: With ten champions left, social media went up in flames. Like all confirmed “knowing”.

Consider if Lucescu’s team missed enough chances they created by fighting with a numerical advantage. Who dares to say that it would be normal for the Thessaloniki team to win the Cup, given the conditions that have been created on the playing field? Unfortunately for her, she didn’t make it.

And so the conspiracy theorists again hid in their shell. Until they reappear to fuel the fire that burns what’s left of our football.
