The final match of the league phase at home against the club from Azerbaijan. Olympiakos not only have to win, but to score in bunches to strengthen it's goal difference. Thanks in part of their away victory in Porto, there is a good chance Olympiakos can finish 8th place for the final spot of automatic qualification to the round of 16 knockout stage. Here are the following what needs to happen in order for Olympiakos to grab 8th place. We will focus mainly with the teams from 8-11. Olympiakos are currently in 12th place. Steaua Bucuresti plays Manchester United in Romania (Man U must draw or win) Nice plays Bodo/Glimt in France (Nice must win or draw) Ajax plays Galatasaray in Netherlands (Ajax must win or draw) Athletic Club Bilbao plays Viktoria Plzen in Spain (Athletic must win or draw)

We're in stoppage time now, 3 to go. Game remains 1-1 -edit- game ends 1-1. I like this. Oly 44 AEK 40 PAO 40 PAOK 37 It's not even February yet. We're gonna win the championship, just you wait.

Looks like Murg is being loaned to some team in Saudi Arabia.

Because he is our best striker. No time to defend.

I did manage to see him play on TV back in 1970's. The first time I did was at the Champions Cup final in 1971 when Panathinaikos played Ajax at Wembley. He was definitively one of the best of that era along with Mimis Papaioannou and Georgios Koudas.

I am too young to have seen him play live but heard lots of stories about how talented and how good a footballer he was. One of the all-time Greek football legends no doubt. O Θεος να τον αναπαύσει.

Today Mimis "The General" Domazos died at the age of 83 after suffering a cardiac arrest on his birthday two days earlier. Domazos was Mr Panathinaikos but played the 1978/1979-season for AEK to prove he was not a "finished player" and even clinched the title. He finished his career (after a transfer in the winter of the 1979/1980-season) at his beloved Greens though. He holds the record of 536 appearances in the Alpha Ethniki and scored 139 goals (#15 on the all time list of Alpha Ethniki). Domazos was capped 50 times and scored 4 goals for the Ethniki.

First time ever Olympiakos defeated FC Porto on their home soil. Same stadium where Greece defeated Portugal in the opening match 2-1 back in EURO 2004. Brings back great memories! Currently at 12th place, Olympiakos has a slim chance of getting the final spot for automatic qualification to the Round of 16. I fully expect them to be in the playoffs as a seeded side. Oh I wish they would have beaten Twente and FCSB.
