The 2011–12 season marked Olympiacos's 53rd consecutive year in the Greek Super League and proved to be one of the finest in the club's 86-year history. Domestically, they dominated by winning the Super League Greece title for a second straight year and also clinching the Greek Cup, completing an impressive double. On the European front, they competed in the Champions League group stage before dropping into the Europa League, where they advanced all the way to the Round of 16. The team achieved all this while playing highly attractive, attacking football, though the campaign wasn't without controversy—a league match was awarded 3–0 to the opponent due to severe crowd violence. This memorable season firmly reasserted Olympiacos's status as a powerhouse in Greek football.
