He left the “Johan Cruyff Arena” with his head held high Panathinaikos. The “greens” after an excellent performance reached a breath of a great qualification against Ajax, however for details they could not celebrate it. Tete’s goal in the 89′ canceled the lead that the Dutch had from the first match, Diego Alonso’s team had the best phases in extra time, but in the penalties they needed 34 runs for the hosts to smile at the end.
Panathinaikos is left with the bitterness of the exclusion and the lost opportunity of securing from now on the League Phase in Europa or Conference League, however he can feel proud of the effort he made and certified that he is on a very good path. The warm applause of the crowd at the final testifies that Panathinaikos seems to be winning the first big bet of the season, that is to gain the trust of its audience in the new effort being made.
Certainly, however, the “clover” cannot stay here… With the return of the mission to Athens, attention is immediately turned to the premiere of the championship and the “tricky” game with Astera Tripoli on Sunday at OAKA (20:00). Given that the rematch with Ajax was completed… Friday, that’s for sure Diego Alonso will make several changes. Both to freshen up his team and keeping in mind that Panathinaikos has a second chance in Europe against Lance, with the first match taking place on Thursday at “Bolar”. In this game, Mancini will not be available, who completed cards.
