Morocco’s Ayoub El Kaabi was the hero as he scored the goal that gave Olympiacos a 1-0 win against Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night.

El Kaabi scored in the 116th minute of extra-time to give Olympiacos their first-ever European title.

Also, Olympiacos become the first club from Greece to win a European trophy.

For El Kaabi, it was his 11th goal in this season’s Europa Conference League knockout stage.

This means he is the first player to achieve the feat in a single UEFA club competition knockout stage.

Also, he has surpassed the feats of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Radamel Falcao.

Ronaldo scored 10 goals in the Champions League in 2017, Benzema netted 10 in the Champions League in 2022 while Falcao bagged 10 in the Europa League in 2010.

Also, El Kaabi is the first non-European player to score 14 goals in major European competition in a single season since Lionel Messi netted 14 in the 2011/12 Champions League.
