As the most difficult draw that could happen to Panathinaikos, he characterized the pairing of the “greens” with Marseille in the third qualifying round of the Champions League Tasos Nikologiannisspeaking to News Bulletin 247.
The reporter of the station characteristically noted that the “clover” should climb a Calvary, emphasizing however that the mind of all in his ranks is only on Dnipro. Besides, as he added, a potential qualification over the Ukrainians can give Panathinaikos a boost.
“This is the most difficult draw that could happen to Panathinaikos. Last year with Slavia was again the worst. He doesn’t do well in sweepstakes. But the mind is only in Dnipro. If he passes, he will have to make a very big leap. It should make a perfect game. Any other team going down would have a better chance. Panathinaikos was outside of Europe for many years. He will have to mount a Calvary to play groups, as he did in the previous decade. The odds are against him, but you can never be sure. Especially if he passes Dnipro, it can give him a boost“, Tasos Nikologiannis said, among others.
