Moroccan striker <strong>Ayoub El Kaabi<\/strong> stood out as the heart of Thrylos&#8217;s heroic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the evening had started on a high note for the Greeks, who managed to take the lead as early as the 8th minute. Following a superb collective movement, El Kaabi showcased his versatility by delivering a brilliant assist to Chiquinho, highlighting his essential role beyond just being a scorer. Unfortunately, this bright start was quickly overshadowed by the devastating power of Real Madrid and the relentless display from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who scored four goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the Madrid upheaval and Mbapp\u00e9&#8217;s rapid hat-trick, Olympiacos showed admirable resilience. El Kaabi himself kept the flame alive in the second half. With the scoreboard showing a 2-4 advantage for the visitors, the Moroccan striker reduced the deficit to 3-4, scoring his team&#8217;s third goal in the 81st minute with a powerful and precise header. This achievement put enormous pressure on Xabi Alonso&#8217;s team, who felt the specter of equalization looming at the end of the match. Notably, on the Real Madrid side, Moroccan international <strong>Brahim Diaz<\/strong> participated in the game (73&#8242;) in place of Asensio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final minutes turned into a true ordeal for Greek supporters, as the equalizer seemed incredibly close. Fate cruelly played against El Kaabi in the 83rd minute. Already a scorer, he saw his attempt go just inches past the post, narrowly missing out on a well-deserved brace. A cruel twist of fate that denied him a second goal. Moments later, Gabriel Strefezza sent another shiver through the Madrid defense with a shot that was not far from Andriy Lunin&#8217;s crossbar (89&#8242;). These missed opportunities in the dying minutes sealed the score in favor of Real Madrid, leaving a bitter taste but also the pride of having pushed a European giant to its limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With deep bitterness, Olympiacos suffered a 4-3 defeat at home after an epic battle against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
