The 2001 Greek Cup final was the 57th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 12 May 2001 at Nikos Goumas Stadium. The contesting teams were Olympiacos and PAOK. [1] It was Olympiacos' twenty-ninth Greek Cup final in their 76 years of existence and PAOK's fifteenth Greek Cup final in their 75-year history. A draw was preceded on 19 April [2] to determine in which stadium/city the final would be hosted: Nikos Goumas Stadium in Athens or Kaftanzoglio Stadium in Thessaloniki. Several days before the game, Olympiacos president Sokratis Kokkalis made a memorable statement using a Greek expression that Olympiacos would lose the upcoming final only if "the devil broke his leg", meaning that it was almost impossible for his team to lose. However, PAOK won the match by 4–2 [3] [4] with an impressive performance and earned the trophy 27 years after their last success, in the same stadium against the same opponent. During the awarding ceremony, former goalkeeper and member of the coaching staff then of PAOK, Mladen Furtula whispered to Kokkalis that "the devil indeed broke his leg that day" and Kokkalis responded with a laugh. The manager of PAOK, Dušan Bajević became the first in history to win the trophy with three different teams. He had also won it with AEK Athens in 1996 and Olympiacos in 1999.
This was the eighth Greek Cup final held at the Nikos Goumas Stadium, after the 1962, 1967, 1974, 1976, 1980, 1981, and 1982 finals.
The Nikos Goumas Stadium was built in 1930 and it has been renovated twice, in 1979 and 1998. The stadium was used as a venue for the Greek national football team in various occasions. Its current capacity is 28,729.
Olympiacos had reached the Greek Cup final twenty seven times, winning twenty of them. The last time that had played in a final was in 1999, where they had won Panathinaikos by 2–0.
PAOK had reached the Greek Cup final fourteen times, winning two of them. The last time that they had won the Cup was in 1974 (4–3 on penalties against Olympiacos).
