These results secured a place in the group stage, where the Greek side were drawn alongside Barcelona, Juventus and Sporting CP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, inconsistent domestic performances contributed to Hasi's departure in September 2017, with Takis Lemonis appointed as his replacement. Olympiacos continued to experience managerial changes during the campaign, with Óscar García taking charge in January before Christos Kontis oversaw the closing fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Champions League, Olympiacos faced difficult opposition and were unable to progress beyond the group stage. Their most notable result came against Barcelona in October 2017, when a disciplined defensive performance secured a goalless draw at the Karaiskakis Stadium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestically, Olympiacos struggled to reproduce the consistency of their previous championship-winning campaigns. The club eventually finished third in the Greek Super League with 57 points, behind champions AEK Athens and runners-up PAOK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnsarifard emerged as an important attacking figure, finishing as the club's leading league scorer with 17 goals. In the Greek Cup, Olympiacos reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated by AEK Athens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the campaign ended without major silverware, it represented a significant transitional period following the club's sustained domestic success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by adidas, the 2017\/18 Olympiacos third shirt featured a predominantly red design with white branding and contrasting black-and-white sleeve detailing, based on the manufacturer's Condivo 16 template. Incorporating the Olympiacos crest, adidas branding and the Stoiximan sponsor, the shirt provided an additional playing option alongside the club's traditional red-and-white striped home kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn during a campaign that included Champions League group-stage football and a third-place domestic finish, the design represents a period of change in Olympiacos' recent history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e PIT TO PIT - 51\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003ecm \/\/\/ COLLAR TO HEM - 71cm\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Soccer Archive","offers":[{"title":"L \/ Red","offer_id":53209586467103,"sku":"1\/11-8IY80W","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3508\/5343\/files\/OLYMPIACOS_2017-18_AUTHENTIC_THIRD_SHIRT.png?v=1793964603","url":"https:\/\/thesoccerarchive.com\/ja\/products\/olympiacos-2017-18-third-shirt-l","provider":"The Soccer Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
