Olympiacos K19 Elite Journey Ends with First Youth League Loss in 15 Matches

All good things must come to an end. The legendary journey that began in October 2023 for Olympiacos K19 concluded in April 2025. The young ‘red-and-whites’ were defeated 1-0 by Salzburg in Austria during the semi-finals of the tournament, thus relinquishing their crown as European champions. Despite this setback, the team remains firmly among Europe’s elite youth teams. With their loss to Salzburg, they broke an impressive streak of 15 games without defeat in the UEFA Youth League. This streak had been maintained since last season, which also saw them secure the Youth League trophy. During this period, Olympiacos K19 achieved ten victories and five draws, including four penalty shootout wins. Their previous defeat in the competition was back in 2019 against Red Star Belgrade, also by a 1-0 scoreline, during the group stage. “Thank you for this beautiful journey! You make us all extremely proud!”, wrote Olympiacos FC, giving a big ‘bravo’ to this remarkable team.
