“A giant in our Europa League debut”… This is the laudatory title of Villarreal’s tribute to Panathinaikos which has been published on the team’s official website. In it, she conveys elements of the history of the clover to her fans, its great successes and how it has reached the groups of this year’s event.
Analytically:
“Panathinaikos: A Greek giant in the premiere of the Europa League
Villarreal will face the Athenian team on Thursday, at 19:45, at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.
Panathinaikos Football Club of Athens is a Greek football club that plays in the Greek Super League. In the Europa League he is playing after being eliminated in the last round of the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League by Braga (1-3 aggregate score).
It was founded in 1908 under the name of Athens Football Club (Football Club of Athens). He plays his European matches at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, with a capacity of 70,000 spectators, given that Apostolos Nikolaidis does not meet the conditions for such matches.
Panathinaikos has two nicknames “Clover” and “Greens” and is coached by Serbian Ivan Jovanovic. PAE Panathinaikos is one of the most important clubs in the country, being the second team with the most national titles with a total of 20 championships and 18 cups and the only one to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League – then Champions League – in the 1970/71 season.
World-class footballers such as the Argentinian Juan Veron have passed through their ranks and today players such as the Brazilian Bernard stand out, but also others with experience in Spanish football such as Ruben Perez or Juancar, even old acquaintances such as o Aitor Candalapiedra”.
