Need them to drop points to win the title and for us to win out

Great win. We saw the old PAOK spirit again.

This match up was a good thing either way. It's matches like these that let you know what level you're at. We were not unlucky. We were beaten by a better team. If we played them again, the result would be the same. In a way, this is better than losing by 1 goal and then we delude ourselves into thinking we're better than we are. Even I was having visions of grandeur of making it to the final. So, what does it all mean? It means if the club wants to be able to go toe to toe against teams like Club Brugge we need to improve the quality of the squad. Maybe that's not possible due to finances or difficulty in getting quality players to play in Greece. Either way, we had a very good run in Europe so overall I'm pleased and not feeling dirty about losing to a better opponent.
