Their victory against Serbia will go down in history as Greece puts behind them the curse of five lost finals in world championships.

This is also the first time Greece has defeated the Serbians in a major competition and at the same time got revenge for losing to them at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Greece’s water polo team will now face either Spain or Hungary in the grand final on Saturday.
