The 2022 Greek Cup final was the 78th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 21 May 2022 at the Olympic Stadium. The contesting teams were Panathinaikos and PAOK. [1] It was Panathinaikos' thirtieth Greek Cup final in their 114 years of existence and PAOK's twenty second Greek Cup final and second consecutive, of their 96-year history. The game was marked by incidents and specifically, when Aitor after scoring for Panathinaikos celebrated in front of the stands of the PAOK ultras. As a result, he a stone was thrown to his hand, injuring him with tensions occurring between the players of both teams immediately after. The referee interrupted the match and in fact, as he headed to the locker room, he was holding the stone that hit the player. [2]
