And mathematics in the Champions League qualifiers Panathinaikos and AEK

by

None of the two took a clear lead after the 0-0 prolongs the suspense until the end, however Panathinaikos and AEK after the result in the Leoforos derby they “locked” their presence in the Champions League qualifiers. Whichever team takes the title ensures that they will have one round less in the qualifiers, but also that they will be the worst-case scenario in the Conference League groups.

We remind that the champion, will take part in the third qualifying round of the Champions League through the champions’ round, the matches of which take place on August 8-9 and 15. If qualified, they will play in the playoffs on August 22/23 and 29/30, with the prize of a place in the golden groups of the Champions League. If they are eliminated in the Champions League playoffs, they will move directly to the Europa League groups. If, however, the champion of Greece is eliminated in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, he will play in the playoffs of the Europa League, where even if he is eliminated, he will continue in the groups of the Conference League. That is, the champion in the worst case scenario of the two summer eliminations will be guaranteed a place in the Conference League groups.

THE runner-up will earn a place in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, on the road of the non-champions, with the matches taking place on 25/26 July and 1/2 August. In case of qualification, it ensures, like the champion, the minimum presence in the groups of the Conference League, but it will claim the participation in the groups of the Champions or even the Europa League.

As for the remaining tickets, if PAOK wins the Cup or comes third, they will play in the Europa League qualifiers, but if they lose the Cup and Olympiacos come third, they will take their place. This team will be in action on August 10 and 17 and if qualified, will play in the playoffs on August 24 and 31. If they are eliminated in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, they will be transferred to the Conference League playoffs which will take place on August 24 and 31. If it is eliminated in the Europa League playoffs, it will go directly to the Conference League groups.

Aris together with one of PAOK or Olympiakos will take part in the second qualifying round of the Conference League playing on July 27 and August 3. For these two teams, there is no room for error, since any elimination, in the second, third qualifying round or in the Conference League playoffs, means the end of their European adventure.
