Last Saturday, thousands of PAOK supporters made the night to day and celebrated until dawn in front of the Greece's White Tower; a landmark of Thessaloniki. The monument was adorned in the colors of PAOOK - black and white. Just a few hours before, PAOK beat AEK Athens 2-1 in the Greek Cup final.

After the final, the PAOK supporters went to the streets and celebrated the first title of their club for 14 years. They sang loudly, lit a lot of fireworks and had lots of fun.
