Giannis Antetokounmpo and his fiancée Mariah Riddlesprigger went to the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday in Athens, Greece. After getting swept early in the 2024 NBA playoffs, the great player for the Milwaukee Bucks and his family are on vacation in his home country.

Riddlesprigger wrote on her Instagram stories that she had a great time at her first live soccer game. There was a game between Fiorentina of Italy and Olympiacos of Greece. The two people were sitting in one of the best places in the OPAP Arena to watch the action.”First football game with this goofball @giannis_an34,” Riddlesprigger wrote.

...To Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greece is home. He was born and raised there. He’s a huge soccer fan and supports AC Milan. He is also a partial owner of the Major League Soccer team Nashville SC. But when he was young and lived in Athens, he liked the Olympiacos team. There are shots of him going to games with his late father, Charles.

The Europa Conference League title was won by Olympiacos over Fiorentina in the final. It was their first European title since 1963, when they won the Balkans Cup.

At the end of extra time, in the 116th minute, Moroccan scorer Ayoub El Kaabi scored to give Olympiacos the win. Fiorentina couldn’t find the equaliser, and they lost the Europa Conference League final for the second year in a row. That year, they lost 2-1 to West Ham United and gave up the game-winner in the 90th minute.
