The Cup. Panathinaikos reached the final and the other finalist was AE Larissa. Larissa may have been up and coming and Panathinaikos may be have been not at their best in terms of selection, but still it was a squad much superior to whatever Larissa could muster. Panathinaikos, predictably, won 2-0.
Of course, AE Larissa’s dreams were shuttered, but, overall, they finished fine season. For a lowly club, it was great: 6th in the championship and Cup finalists. They were climbing up, they were on the right truck.
Panathinaikos won a double, which is always significant success for any team, but somehow this squad is not particularly memorable. Of course, Panathinaikos was full of Greek stars and national team players, but… not excellent team somehow. Successful – yes, memorable – less so. But who cares when their team wins.
