Match30 Nov 2030

Still nobody has beaten Olympiacos

The unbeaten run reaches 20. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match30 Nov 2030

The derby belongs to Olympiacos

1‑0 against PAOK, and the songs went on long after the whistle. League positions come and go; days like this get retold at family dinners for years.

Match26 Nov 2030

Olympiacos do the business in Europe

1‑1. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Olympiacos came through the finding-out well against Club Brugge.

Market2 Dec 2030

Marc Pubill hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Olympiacos can pretend not to have heard.

Loan watch2 Dec 2030

The goals keep arriving from Rayan Fofana’s exile

28 goals in 19 games at Morelia — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Olympiacos updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Market2 Dec 2030

Only the photograph left for Denis Pérez

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Denis Pérez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Olympiacos the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market2 Dec 2030

Barracas Central come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Olympiacos did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings2 Dec 2030

The derby has a name on it: Mamady Diambou

Score against anybody else and it is a goal. Score against them and it is a story with your name in it for a decade, and Olympiacos supporters have already started telling it.

Squad2 Dec 2030

Tempers go at Olympiacos

Gonçalo Guedes was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad21 Oct 2030

The knee: Keven Schlotterbeck out for 14 days

14 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Olympiacos lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match19 Oct 2030

No mercy from Olympiacos

AEK will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Olympiacos were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad21 Oct 2030

A day Gonçalo Guedes will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings21 Oct 2030

Gonçalo Guedes, 33, rolls back the years — 9.67

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 9.67 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market21 Oct 2030

Only the photograph left for Ayoub El Kaabi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ayoub El Kaabi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Olympiacos the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Loan watch21 Oct 2030

Rayan Fofana keeps scoring at Morelia

13 appearances away from home and 21 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Market21 Oct 2030

Claudio Gomes asks to leave Olympiacos

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match19 Oct 2030

Olympiacos make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Olympiacos have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad21 Oct 2030

Olympiacos lose Ansgar Knauff

24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad15 Apr 2030

The knee: Soufiane Rahimi out for 38 days

38 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Olympiacos lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match15 Apr 2030

Olympiacos are top

66 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

The dugout15 Apr 2030

César Tárrega says Olympiacos went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market15 Apr 2030

Amath N'Diaye hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Olympiacos can pretend not to have heard.

Market15 Apr 2030

Only the photograph left for Mady Camara

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mady Camara will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Olympiacos the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Loan watch15 Apr 2030

The goals keep arriving from Jan Hurtado’s exile

19 goals in 12 games at Atletico Venezuela — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Olympiacos updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad15 Apr 2030

Dávid Hancko falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad15 Apr 2030

Bastien Meupiyou gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Bastien Meupiyou has just signed for Olympiacos, and for once the answer mattered.

Loan watch15 Apr 2030

Pablo García keeps scoring at Wanderers

9 appearances away from home and 16 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match20 Oct 2029

Olympiacos make home a hard place to visit

25 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Both of them Akor Adams's — 9.08

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.08, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match22 Oct 2029

Olympiacos are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 21 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market22 Oct 2029

Zini has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Olympiacos they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout22 Oct 2029

Gui says Olympiacos went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market22 Oct 2029

Stefan Bajić puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Olympiacos, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match20 Oct 2029

7 unbeaten for Olympiacos

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Olympiacos did not have in the autumn.

Squad22 Oct 2029

César Tárrega arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. César Tárrega has, at Olympiacos, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Olympiacos

Pol Lozano was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
