On 28/09 of 2021 it was supposed to be the night of Giorgos Athanasiadis. The Greek goalkeeper made a legendary appearance at the Bernabeu performing incredible operations, showing tremendous passion in the huge victory of Sheriff Tiraspol against Real Madrid (1-2) with UEFA anointing him the most valuable player of the match.
The goalkeeper of AEK was a real “Cerberus” under the bars of the Moldovan team, “humiliating” the stars worth hundreds of millions of euros of Real Madrid and left the “Santiago Bernabeu” triumphant.
The 31-year-old Greek goalkeeper “bent” only with a penalty, with which Benzema had momentarily equalized for the hosts. The “Queen” that night had fired 11 shots at home, while for history Carlo Ancelotti's team at the end of the year celebrated the Champions League against Liverpool (1-0).
Three years later, Giorgos Athanasiadis will compete in our league for the yellow-green team of Larnaca. AEK found everything with the footballer, who signed a two-year cooperation contract.
