Morocco's Ayoub El Kaabi gifted his Greek club Olympiacos a historic win in Athens.
On Wednesday (May 29), the Greek side celebrated becoming the first team from their country to win a European trophy.
El Kaabi scored a goal four minutes before the end of extra time inflicting a second straight Europa Conference League final defeat on Fiorentina.
El Kaabi was named man of the match.
"Today we played a very good match. We made a promise to our supporters that we would make it today. And we did. It's a final, but hamdulilah (praise is due to Allah) in the second half of extra time we scored a goal to win this trophy. I want to thank everybody."
