- Greece's victory in Euro 2004 is widely considered the greatest underdog story in the history of the Euros. This unlikely side played hosts Portugal twice, eventually defeating them in a dramatic final. What few remembers is the scorer and that game, and Greece's leading scorer for the tournament was then Werder Bremen and former Aris striker Angelos Charisteas. We sat down with Greece's unlikely hero to learn about his career, and the incredible weeks of Euro 2004.

After years of British media’s jealousy marginalizing what Greece did, English speaking outlets are finally covering Greece’s Euro 2004 run with the praise and accolades it deserves. Thank you Copa 90
Fuck the media man, the people loved the underdog story 🏴🇬🇷
@Fabian Deasy there’s no narrative, ask any Greek person, we lived it, we didn’t see that “love” from England for years mate
Έχω βαρεθεί να ακούω αυτο το μύθο ότι οι ξένοι (και κυρίως οι Άγγλοι, γιατί πάντα με τους βόρειους τα είχαμε) μας ζήλευαν και μας έκραζαν το 2004. Επειδή μια ή δυο φυλλάδες μπορεί να έγραψαν κάτι στο μυαλό μας όλοι ήταν εναντίον μας. ΟΚ το 2004 που οι Έλληνες ήταν εύρωστοι και συνεπώς πιο αλαζονικοί από ποτέ, ήταν κοινό ευαγγέλιο από όλους οτι όλοι οι ξένοι μας ζηλεύουν για τον ήλιο, τα ώπα και το euro, αλλά πλέον έχουμε 2021, είναι κωμική αυτή η θεώρηση.
And now, it's coming Rome. 😂
@@FobbyTox Δεν είναι έτσι. Ήταν σε αυτή την εποχή πολλές εφημερίδες που μιλάγανε άσχημα για την εθνική ελλάδα στο 2004. Ζηλεύανε πάρα πολύ με αρκετά αρνητικά σχόλια σε σχεδόν όλες τις εφημερίδες και ειδικά σε εκπομπές τηλεόρασης. Το έζησα από κοντά.
One of the most beautiful moment in football, anything can happen in this game
That's we all love this beautiful game!
Denmark 92 as well ❤️
@@conorsmith8551 You cannot compare this euro of 1992 with the Greek one. We had no academies, no structures and most importantly: Good knowledge.
@@Realistis- the danes didn't have fantastic structures either compared to the dutch for example, germans and french. theirs was a miracle too. but look, taking nothing away from the greeks, it was a spectacular win in 2004 against the odds. just emphasising the case that denmark weren't even meant to be in euros and a spectacular turn of events meant yugoslavia were removed and denmark got selected to replace them, they were only supposed to make up the numbers despite possessing world class players in brian laudrup and schmeichel but those two were only establishing themselves at the time
As a portuguese of course i was appalled by that defeat in our own homeground. But i must admit that Greece deserved that glorious triumph. They knew they were not the best team in the tournament and they played with heart and lots of discipline. Our manager, Scolari, buried us, he lost twice to Greece and Otto Rehagel was way superior in his tactics. Congratulations to Greece for such an achievement: being crowned kings of Europe in 2004.
You mean those defeats
Scolari had too much trust in the young Christiano. He should have played him as a striker.
Scolari thought Chriss would do wat Ronaldinho did in 2002
Aggelos Charisteas or how we call him in greece " O Mpampas sas"

@@luiscaetano6184 Yes but the video is wrong.
Unbelievable. Still one of the greatest sporting underdog stories of all time!
The most traumatic loss football ever gave me was the Euro 2004 final. As an 8 year old Greece made me cry my eyes out, like the world was ending. But in hindsight Greece deserved the victory because they were strong and tactically superior and after 2016 (when Portugal won the Euro) catharsis came and I got over the loss, finally
From Mexico, Angelos Charisteas is my top Idol in football ever!!!!
Gracias!🇲🇽🇬🇷❤️

We are sorry Portugal, but to show that we love you, 12 years later we gave you the coach whom we trained a lot in Greece, and under his guidance you won the 2016 Euro. So, no hard feelings!
Love from Greece.
@@eetuerrenor5757 ah ah ah you mean he trained you a lot...regards from Portugal
@@luisgomes8226The style that Portugal won with in 2016 was Greek Football, Santos is Portuguese but had a typical Greek mentality
@@abehatzis8583Before Santos went to Greece he was doing it that same way with FCPorto and only afterwards he went to Greece. He had already won many trophies both at home and in Europe playing that way. Although you guys brought civilization to the West, Santos brought Portuguese coaching to Greece and you assumed it was you who taught him...ah ah ah. Not this time...good try
@@abehatzis8583 we played that way against France in 2016 because they were too strong to play them any other way. A bit like when you won against us. Don't take me wrong, This is not a criticism because it is all legit and you were fair winners.
Greece winning the Euro. Leicester winning the Premier League and FA Cup. Portugal winning the Euro. Lille winning Ligue 1. These are the stories that people love in football. The stories of teams facing much stronger opponents and coming on top, to become legends. We don't want shit like the European Superleague or whatever American thought system they want to introduce to "increase the big matches". Fuck that, we want the underdog stories.
#AgainstModernFootball
2004 was the same year that FC Porto won the UCL in a final against AS Monaco.
And Werder Bremen won the German double after failing to qualify for the UEFA-Cup against FC Pasching, losing 0:4 at the UI-Cup semi-finals.
Oh, and Arsenal winning the Prem without losing a single match!
Well done Greece, congratulations from Portugal.
I was on the final and I can tell you, all Greeks being in Lisboa these days have reserved a big place on our hearts for the Portuguese people. We enjoyed and loved your hospitality, we respected and still respect your big footballers (I went with 4 Greeks from Germany and 2 of them wore always a tricot from Luis Figo!). Love, gratitude and blessings from Greece - Portugal ole - PORTUGAL OLE!!

At the time I was quite upset that Cristiano lose but at the same time happy that Greece won
Cristiano got his time 12 years later in France.

The Greeks drew first blood, it was the first time he cried... I think this final turned him into the fanatic beast we all know (and some even love).
Today is 4th July 2024, 20 years after the greatest day of greek sports overall. Thank you Angelos! I'm very proud being from the same village as you, Strymoniko!!!❤
It'd be nice to know what his father thinks of football now that he's won a major tournament. Maybe he's changed his mind or not. It still is a beautiful moment in football history.
His father passed a few years ago.
@@ToonArmyGreece I hope he made peace with his father before he passed 🙏
@@nealanderson9719 It is apparent that he made peace with his father by him mentioning the words of his father when he signed with his first big team Ares at 1:42.
His father said: "Forget about your old life, you must not look back again, look forward in to building your own new life".
Very encouraging words from a father, it is like saying forget about us, build your own life how YOU want it and not how we lay it out for you.
Most parents want their kids to be in white collar jobs.
Careers as an athlete or music are hated by most parents.
He even said he did it in secret mayb that is what gave him strength to keep pushing and was able to turn pro unlike most his friends who were driven to practice by parents but they fell off😂

Surprise does exists in football! That's what makes this sport the best of the world
That Greece team yes were underdogs but shows that when a national federation is competent in their choices and not corrupt underdogs can do really well
@Wake No. i wonder why ranieri resigned with you guys..
@@Micfri300 bad results in the begining of the euro 2016 qualifiers...
we had reached the last 16 of the world cup in 2014, we were this close to reach the quarter finals but we lost to costa rica on penalties...
and after all that successful journey in brazil, we got humiliated by EVERYONE in the qualifying group... romania, northern ireland, finland, even the faroe islands!!!! 😥
suddenly, we saw our team being beaten by amateur non professional footballers from the faroe islands, while we got used to not concede goals easily or even lose...
what's funny is that, when ranieri was sacked, he joined leicester city and made the impossible, winning the premier league with a small team, compared to the big 5 of england!!!!!
the irony huh? funny how some things turn out in life...
@@STATRIMC95 don't want to break it to you but the future is having a philosophy style of play..
@@Micfri300 that's irrelevant... i was talking about why ranieri was sacked from the Greek national team...
I remember in my school (Portugal) a Greek exchange student doing a presentation on her country. When she gets to the "National Heroes" she puts Charisteas, and (genuinely innocently) asks if we know him. Queue a classroom of stone-faced people just stare her down.
The dude looks like a genuinely nice person, and I thought his assessment of Portugal as a nervous team during that Euro to be interesting.
It's still too soon for us to be able to feel sympathy for their achievement, though :P
I am Portuguese and since 2016 that I love the fact that Greece won that Euro's edition.
My friend, Portuguese football brings out everynow and then great players and teams. You will have so many opportunities to win trophys in the future as you already have in National level and in Clubs level . Porto , Benfica, Sporting will take again Champions league , Europa league etc. But for a country like Greece that was once in a lifetime opportunity. So , if that explain it better for you i think it is time to feel sympathy for our achievement . It was a great football fairy tale but it was true and Portugal was a part of it . The friendly, good hearted , warm and very hospitable Portugal that despite the bitterness of the loss was a really kind place for the Greeks that we were in the tournament of 2004 . Greetings from Athens .
@@MACMISIAS 👌👌👌🇬🇷💙⚽️
@@MACMISIAS oh absolutely, incredible achievement.
I just happened to have been 9 at the time and crying my eyes out xD
I knew a guy from Portugal back in the day. I met him outside Da Luz and we exchange our scarfs and phone numbers. Before the final. After the match, 1-2 weeks he called me and told me that he will come to Athens for the Olympics. We met one day and he told me that the whole country was in a huge shock for many days and no one could believe how their golden generation lost the cup loosing two times from Greece. I told him that winning this cup will forever be a huge milestone for Greece. Only in 1987's Eurobasket's win, the country felt so extremely proud of an achievement. Maybe the Portuguese people hate us now -i told him- but for all Greek people till this day, Portugal will forever be the good antagonist in our fairytale. Last thing. I will forever remember what i felt listening 45000 Portuguese chanting their national anthem. It was a blast! Till today when i hear Portugal's anthem i get a little emotional. And yes, i was with Portugal in 2016 final and i was very happy that you won the same way we did! Love from Greece!!
Even if this is a video about Angelos, he mentions his teamates at every chance he gets. That spirit made that team win that trophy.
Esa Grecia sorprendió a todo el mundo nadie se esperaba que pudieran ganar ni siquiera los mismos griegos, pero al final lograron lo imposible. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽.

I spent my early childhood (6 years old - 16 years old) by watching the Greek national team in empty stadiums and having a dream to play one day with Greece in a Euros and World Cups and make a huge upset and win it as underdogs... I may never played in our national team but the dream became reality in 2004 when I was 18... Then the empty stadiums were filled by Greeks that they lived the dream I had as a child... God bless everyone in this team and the feelings the gave us. Greatest underdogs in history or football...

I remember that fairytale story like it was yesterday. Stunning once in a lifetime victory. Some bitter people still can't get over it but deal with it - Greece won fair and square against all odds.
@Darwinek
Who's bitter about it?
Can't be Portugal surely, they lost to Greece in the group stage never looked like winning.
That's the only reason Greece qualified from the group and then Portugal were beaten again by Greece in the final and again Portugal the hosts never looked like winning.
I do believe England and possibly others such as Italy would've knocked out Greece had they faced them in that tournament but that doesn't change the fact that Greece were worthy winners. I just feel Portugal can't be bitter about that tournament as they should feel the most responsible for making Greece Euro's champions other than Greece themselves.
@@cddb5408 Greece beat apart Portugal, the defending champions France and the best team in Europe that time, Czech Republic. And we had a tie with Spain. What makes you think that England, or italy, or the Netherlands could come with something better? Greece was the beast TEAM in that competion. Not the one with the most famous players, not the most fun to watch, not the team with players in the big leagues.. Greece was the most commited TEAM with all players and coaches focused to their purpose. Its unfair if anyone says that Greece was not a worthy champion. Especially hearing that from English newspapers and ''football experts'', that never won nothing except the WC they've hosted back in '68.. and it was a controversial one to be fair..
@@Stargazer1974 You obviously can't read.
I clearly said Greece were worthy winners.
And it was 1966 England won world cup not 68.
England also won Tournoi de France 1997 vs France Italy & Brazil.
England were very good in the 1990's.
Also had very good Euro's last year. Did as well as any finalist in a major has ever done similar to Euro96 which they only lost in the virtual final vs Germany.
@@Stargazer1974 on pens, both tournaments.
And many tournaments in general only lost on pens with a lot of adversity and bad decisions against them or playing ages with numerical disadvantage, disallowed goals, opposition escaping clear reds etc...
@@cddb5408 We are talking about winners of the competition , not whinners. No one remembers how you play, but they all remember who won. And the fact that most English people gets bitter about 2004, shows how much of crybabies you are (not you especially). Unless if you want only famous teams win the tournaments. Thats another story...
Only Greeks can do this. Somebody told me about Denmark in 1992,but everyone knows in Greece how difficult is to reach this achievement in Europe for our standards. We hadn't academies, structures and most important a good knowledge. And is amazingly unbelievable how these guys had learned tactics in such short time and to win finally this trophy. This is the perfect example of discipline, passion and selflessness.That's why we were celebrating for a long time. 👏 🇬🇷
Great achievement for Greece!
Used to always sign him on LMA manager. Good times growing up
I am from Greece and I remember the final match. It was the most beautiful moment in Greece 🇬🇷 and I will never forget that...
Interesting insight from the man and Country that Haunted Portugal for 12 long Years. I as a Portuguese have to say that i didnt think we wore going to win beside reaching the final and winning against From France cuz the the odds and i do think yes Portugal was lucky and i forgot the Fernando Santos was the Coach for Greece before Joining Portugal
You know Greeks love Portugal. We totally support your country (and not because we beat you, we genuinely like Portuguese people)...
I believe historically you had unbelievable players. I consider you equals to the 5 major teams of Europe.
That Portuguese team was the best I ve seen in my lifetime. I am 27. And I include the on e that won the Euros in that list.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. The greatness of that squad made us even more proud.
That goes for the Czechs too. Thank God Nedved got injured.
Love Angelos story of his strength to build his career. Working in secrecy and powering thru the amateur stages and all that led to him turning pro🫡
As a Greek I want to thank Angelos and the rest of the Greek team for one of the happiest moments of my life. I will remember that win until I die. I was euphoric for days to come.
Main fact about charisteas is that he had this career without a proper ball control because nobody taught him that in his early days before signing for aris.Another fact was that when he moved to Germany he was a skinny kid and there within 2 years he gain a lot of muscles.As for that rivalry within the national team the player who left after that match with Finland was georgatos vieri's favorite teammate in inter back then.He s great as person and we thank him for his contribution in our society.
He was a good player in the Bundesliga and.
Greece was an underdog and they don't have to apologize how they won the cup. They won fair and with a tactic that fits them best.
By they way - German Media called the trainer (Otto Rehhagel) after the triumph Rehhakles. A legendary trainer with a lot of philosophical quotes.
Rehakles after the greatest mythical hero Herakles (Hercules in Latin)
Thank you Angelos!! The happiest moment of my life was the goal in the final!!!
as a diehard fan of the rival team he played, I love him for his goals in 2004. thank you for this documentary, we (Greeks) are crying watching it :)

This was a far bigger shock than Denmark winning euro 92
Yes, Denmark was actually a very good side and didn't make the tournament originally just because only the group winners did. Greece in the other hand never had even scored a goal in a major tournament.
@@HockeyJokerit We scored a goal VS Chech and Slovakian Republic(1-2 for the other side) and we finished the tournament of EURO 1980 with 1 point(0-0 VS Netherlands). But I will remember the tournament of EURO until the end of my life.
@trancemadmaz
Yeah for 3 reasons.
(1)
16 team format was harder than the format Denmark won with only 8 teams.
(2)
They played vs Portugal in Portugal
(3)
They had already beaten Portugal in the group stage and people thought maybe that was a 1 off and Portugal are the better team so they'll get it right next time. But they didn't, Greece won again and again it wasn't a lucky win Portugal just couldn't play and were never in front in either game. A fully deserved title but I can't help think if a better team were in the final than Portugal then Greece wouldn't have ever been allowed to win this format which is the hardest Euro's format there ever was. They needed the group stage win vs Portugal just to reach the knockout stage. They only scraped 1 point in the next 2 group games because they were 1of the weakest teams on paper in the competition.
@@cddb5408 Also the players. Denmark had world class talent from the likes of Peter Schmeichel and Brian Laudrup where as Greece had the likes of Theo Zakarakis and Angelos Charisteas who were good players but not in the same league as those guys. The Danish team of 92 would probably beat the Greek side of 04 by a score of 2 or 3-0. In fact I'd say the Danish team of 92 was as strong as the Portugal team of 2016
@@HockeyJokerit Also only 1 pt separated Denmark and Yugoslavia in the qualifying group. Yugoslavia player for player were arguably the best international team in World football at the time when you take into account the success of Red Star Belgrade winning the European Cup in 91 and the several number of players that went on to become huge stars in Serie A. The Danes beat Yugoslavia 2-1 in Belgrade and Yugoslavia beat Denmark 2-0 in Copenhagen. It was very close

A story of a skilled but second class striker playing at a non top club, who becomes the hero of a tournament leading his national team all the way to the trophy:
1982 Paolo Rossi (AS Perugia) winning WC with Italy in Spain.
2004 Angelos Charisteas (Werder Bremen) winning EC with Greece in Portugal.
Two very similar stories: Both players faded our afterwards and didn't ever since reach even near performance to that of their "perfect" tournament. Also both were considered second choice (no starters) in their national teams, even few months before their respective finals.

Scolari fault not picking Vitor Baía over Ricardo
i wondered this too... baia had won the champions league with porto that year, no?
but another portuguese here on youtube told me that baia was old at that time and ricardo was younger and more promising than him... maybe that's why he picked him over baia...
anyway, i think ricardo wasnt that good at the 2004 tournament, but better for us for scolari picking him, that helped us in winning the trophy 😁😁 his reaction as a goalkeeper in the corner of basinas in the final is bad!
He moved to Rotterdam. Unforgivable.

The worst senter for ever.
It's interesting that Brazil haven't won a World Cup since 2002 plus before last week, Argentina had not won a Copa America since 1993. I say interesting, because for me, at international football, it's the teams who are solid defensively that tend to be difficult to beat and in turn, end up winning these competitions. You look how solid Italy were defensively in 2006, hardly scored any but still won it. Yet on the flip side to this, Brazil's all out expansive attacking approach with two defenders saw them lose 7-1 to Germany in 2014. And what better example to use than Greece in 2004. They knew they didn't have the quality to go toe to toe with sides, so they just made sure the defence was as solid as it could be and played to keep clean sheets, which saw them win the tournament. Very different approach to sides like Brazil, Argentina, France, Netherlands etc etc.
But my question, from an entertainment perspective, is has football since 2004 been more or less entertaining than the period of the 80's, 90's and early 00's?
I have an impression that Brazil is gonna win the 2022 WC in Qatar.Mucha suerte!
@@costenics_sw Maybe. Depends how well they defend and if their defence in stronger now than over the last 18 years.
@@johnmitchell2269 Yes thats right , to be honest I acknowledge them as the best football nation ever , but I don't support them ...I like the Colombian national team a lot , the italian , french and of course the Underdogs haha.Germany too.

He speaks Greek.
That man is no hero, he is a villain. Such is Ricardo, that approach was criminal
Pra mim é um herói com certeza
O Ricardo em 2008 fez o mesmo contra a Alemanha, saía sempre mal entre os postes
If he is a villain, then he is the greatest villain of football history because he actually managed to defeat the heroes (Ronaldo, I assume), and there isn't many villains that can say that...
by beating Spain, France, Portugal with the goals he scored by his OWN is he a villian? you should respect him even if you are Portuguese, this is football sometimes you win sometimes you lose. we were happy of course then, but you won this cup in 2016 man.

@@FilipeDiogo49 nobody can ever forget how bitter Portugal was as the defeat by Greece, some of you are still bitter about it... I don't think you'll ever forget Filipe
@@Nick-wh4jt yet.... Greece falls more and more into the forgotten bag....
I think they will end up selling the cup to buy food or pay monthly bills
@@FilipeDiogo49 I think you need to get an education, Greece will never be forgotten not even by you. Greece is also rich, historically and culturally and economically, our EEZs are full of resources. I think Portugal has the economic problems...
You guys are terrible you can't even get cut away footage to go with what he's speaking about mostly pictures #embarrassing

I am atheist... but I must admit ....At the most crucial moment, two angels made the difference. The perfect corner from Angelos Basinas and the header of Angelos Charisteas . It was the biggest miracle I ever saw in football .
