It is a very important match tomorrow, against a team that is considered by many to be unshakable favourites. How much do you believe in the qualification and how ready are you to claim it?

“We saw various videos, I know many names, our opponents have a good team, but we must not forget that they will face a team like Panathinaikos. We will do our best to get the best result.”
It’s a small stadium, but with a pulse, so what do you expect from the crowd?
“Our friends have never left us, they are always by our side. Coming into the field they are a big asset, they help us to give 100% of our potential and we will look to give them a lot of fun.”
