THE Fotis Ioannidis also confirmed yesterday (11/30) evening at “Theramika” the… his hot formcoming off the bench and scoring in Panathinaikos’ 3-2 defeat by Villarreal.
With the 23-year-old center forward now has found the back of the net in four of the five games of the 6th group of this year’s Europa League on behalf of the “greens”!
Scoring in the two matches with the “yellow submarine” and also against Rennes, while he was… scoreless only in Panathinaikos’ 0-0 draw with Maccabi, in Haifa.
In fact, if we include the two goals scored by Ioannidis with a penalty, in the 3-1 away win over Dnipro, as well as in the 2-1 defeat of Panathinaikos by Marseille, which however led the match to extra time and perfect in qualifying, we see what he has six goals in Europe this year!
A performance that places the international Greek striker in a very small but very honorable list, with footballers… legends of the “clover”…
As a matter of fact, something similar succeeded the huge Dimitris Saravakosin the 1987-88 season, with six goals in the UEFA Cup, the unsurpassed Christoph Vazeha, in the 1995-96 season, with six goals in the Champions League. But also O Michalis Konstantinouin 2001-02, also with six goals in Europe’s top club football competition, with Dimitris Salpingidis with 3 goals in the Champions League qualifiers and another 3 in the Europa League in the 2009-10 season!
Now, the next goal for Ioannidis is to reach the 10 European goals achieved by the insurmountable Antonis Antoniadis the historic 1970-71 season, where Panathinaikos reached the “Wembley” final.
