It starts on Thursday (11/4) quarter final his phase European Conference League. Of course, in a very pleasant moment for Greek footballas on the one hand it has two teams participating in the “8” and on the other hand the final will take place in New Philadelphia.
Certainly, therefore, the Greek interest is focused on the first battles between Olympiakos and PAOK. The people of Piraeus host the Lantern at 19:45 (Cosmote Sport 3 HD, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr) at the packed “G. Karaiskakis” (sold out), while the Thessalonians are tested – with the support of their crowd – at its headquarters Bruges at 22:00 (Cosmote Sport 2 HD, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr).
From there, however, all eyes will turn to the other two matches. For many reasons. And this is because – apart from the fact that they involve two quarter-final clashes, one of which is very strong – the winners of the said pairs will face off against the counterparts of Olympiakos and PAOK. While… some of them will also be found in OPAP Arena on May 29.
On the one hand, therefore, Aston Villa welcomes her Lil at 22:00 (Cosmote Sport 6 HD), with the winner of the pair facing off against Olympiacos-Fenerbahce. On the other hand, Victoria Plzen welcomes her Fiorentina at 19:45 (Cosmote Sport 9 HD, bwinSPOR FM 94.6, sport-fm.gr), with the winner of the pair facing Club Brugge-PAOK.
It is reminded that the away goal rule does not apply. In the event of a tie at the end of the normal duration of the second games, a half-hour overtime will follow and if necessary, the penalty shootout.

Thursday (11/4)
