Croatia had overtaken Greece in the UEFA rankings after Dinamo Zagreb win over Chelsea two days ago, with our country losing in the end the opportunity to get close to it in 17th place.
THE defeat of Olympiakos in the delays of the match against Nantes deprived the 250 points of the tie in Greece, as a result of difference from Croatia to remain at 425.
The defeats of Dynamo Kyiv and Dnipro did not allow the 16th Ukrainians to escape, while behind Greece and with a difference of only 100 points is Denmarkwhich saw Silkeborg and Midland beaten (as did Copenhagen in the Champions League).
Further back, Turkeywhich got a big boost from the wins of Basaksehir, Fenerbahce and the draw of Sivasspor, resulting in 1,125 points less than Greece and four teams in Europe.
They follow Israel and Cypruswhich did not do well but have two and three representatives respectively, so it is not at all unlikely that they will threaten us.
One realizes that now it seems largely utopian to be looking at 15th placewith our country in danger of falling further places since it continues with fewer teams compared to the Swiss, Ukrainians, Danes, Turks, Israelis and Cypriots.
