AEK Athens has made history, winning its first ever European trophy in handball!
The Greek players defeated Swedish club Ystads 30-26 in the first leg of the finals last week in Halkida, Central Greece.
They then won the second leg again by four goals, 24-20, on Sunday.
AEK was coached to the cup triumph by Dimitris Dimitroulias, who had also earned Greece’s first European trophy with Diomidis Argous in 2012.
