With the premiere of Panathinaikos in the third group of the Champions League in Linares, Spain, the historic first match of a Greek team in the top interclub Cup of the sport was recorded. The opponent on Wednesday was the Hungarian Budaorsi. The Athenian team carries out its first games of the new season with significant deficiencies and fought for the best. Her hopes of victory were only theoretical and she eventually suffered a 3-0 set defeat.
On Thursday, they first face the “host” Linares, then the Austrian Ossiachers Bodenstorf and want to close with good performances the special and great experience in the Champions League. She competes with a purely Greek trio, Konstantina Paridis, Katerina Toliou and Maria Arcetou, while the technical guidance is Lefteris Makras.
After winning the Europe Trophy for women last June, Panathinaikos decided to raise the level and experience, first of all, great performances by being among so many good teams and athletes. The fact that only the winners of a total of four groups qualify in stage 2 of the big event made the mission difficult anyway, and the absence of two foreign athletes (Dina Mesref, Anna Tofad) and Elizabeth Terpou made the conditions even worse .
The team is basically looking to get as much as they can, and that’s what they did on Wednesday night against Budaorsi, who were finalists in the European Cup final in 2021 and this year marks twenty years in a row in European competitions. In her debut with the Panathinaikos shirt, Paridis had three “closed” sets with one of the best athletes on the continent, the Hungarian Georgina Pota. Toliou lost two out of three sets against another Hungarian international, Maria Fazekas.
The less powerful Arcetu certainly holds the unique feelings of participating in the Champions League. The team manager, Sotiris Houmos, is also on the team of Panathinaikos.
In detail, the evolution of the match Panathinaikos-Budaorsi 0-3:
Katerina Toliou-Maria Fazekas 0-3 (4-11, 8-11, 9-11)
Konstantina Paridis-Georgina Pota 0-3 (9-11, 8-11, 10-12)
Maria Arcetou-Adel Helga Dari 0-3 (1-11, 5-11, 2-11)
In the continuation of the third group, the “greens” will face on Thursday the host Linares at 11:00 and Osiasers Bodenstorf at 20:00.
