THE Panathinaikos left today (22/08) in the morning from “Eleftherios Venizelos” bound for Portugal for his first game in this year’s Champions League playoffs.
After almost 3.5 hours flight timethe mission of the “trefoil” arrived at… favorite for that Oporto airport, which obviously awakened pleasant memories for everyone, due to the “doubles” of 1995 and 2003!
From there the mission will travel by coach to Braga and he will return to Athens on Thursday night (24/08), doing a morning training-relaxation earlier.
The sport-fm.gr puts you in the… climate of the flight, conveying everything that took place on it…
* It didn’t take long for the mission of Panathinaikos to be noticed by the passengers at the airport, with most of the players becoming… a pole of attraction and Fotis Ioannidis and Alberto Brignoli to know the apotheosis.
* For the pilot of Aegean, Stamatis Cantilioros, who made sure to welcome the passengers with the “trefoil” anthem and slogans from the stands we informed you earlier. That was not all, however, Before the details of the flight, he made sure to praise his favorite team and at the same time wish them the qualification to the Champions League groups!
* On the flight, now, most Panathinaikos footballers chose the… solution of sleeping, with Philip Djuricic to be one of the few who didn’t. Instead, the Serbian midfielder preferred to see on his tablet a recent game of Heerenfen, in which he spent some of the best years of his career…
* On the other hand, some members of the “green” delegation preferred to watch movies, with the team manager, Grigoris Papavasileiou to choose “Happiness”, which recently “uploaded” to Netflix.
* The… show in the air was once again stolen by one of the most inseparable twins in missions: that of Hordur Magnuson by Bernard. The Icelandic stopper has matched with the Brazilian midfielder and in some “well”, he was explaining to him that in the life-saving intervention at the “Velodrome” in the shot of Vitinia in extra time, he remembered his childhood when he played as a goalkeeper in… handball!
* One news that emerged was that both Juancar as well as Reuben Perez will also have family members in the stadium stands, who will be… flown from Spain to Portugal to watch the match.
