PAOK History in Europe

[Dutch Eagle]

Slovan Bratislava - PAOK might be played behind closed doors due to the rising numbers of covid-19-cases in Slovakia.

No complaints here! Maybe Ivan can bribe them to help push us across the finish line.

[Blackhawk]

PAOK qualified to the Play-Off round of Europa Conference League. The draw will take place on Monday and here are our potential opponents:

Sparta Prague
PSV Eindhoven
Fenerbahce Istanbul
Celtic Glasgow
Leicester City
Olympique Marseille
Midtjylland
Rapid Vienna

My wish is to be drawn against the Olympiakos of Czech Republic, Sparta Prague, and as a fan of Banik Ostrava see the hated Spartans go down in the hands of PAOK Thessaloniki.

[Dutch Eagle]

We can expect another € 500K for the win tonight ( -/- the fines) but more important: we collected 2.000 for the win and 1.000 points for advancing as runner-up.

We are now at #72 in the club ranking with 21.000 points.

Draw is at 15:00 EEST.

I would like Rapid as the opponent. They had our scalp, now I want theirs.

[Blackhawk]

There are several intriguing match ups. How about being drawn against Fenerbahce and Pelkas. Rapid is a good one too. We owe them something for the trouble they caused at Toumba with the help of Panathinaikos organized fans. However we all know we will be drawn against PSV Eindhoven.

[paokarag4]

Some tricky opponents there, I think best draw for us would be Rapid Vienna or Fenerbache. Would like to avoid Marseille, Leicester and of course PSV

[Athens4]

As Blackhawk rightly says, most have us have already booked our train/plane tickets to Eindhoven.

[pash]

If we don't play PSV I will buy and then eat a hat.

Draw results:

Midtjylland - PAOK FC

[Dutch Eagle]

Midtjylland - PAOK it is. We go to Denmark again.

[Athens4]

Due to Denmark's draconian rules, I will be unable to make the trip. I just hope we get through and play a British team in the next round.

Games to be played:

17/2/2022
24/2/2022

[Soprano76]

Big tie, not only for PAOK but also the country coefficient (and that 2nd UCL spot) 

[Brklyngrk]

Should be a good tie - PAOK got a reasonable good draw, especially given the alternatives.

[PaokCT]

I would say it’s 40/60 we progress. I’m hoping we get new players in January to help revitalize the season. We can make a little run with the right group of players

I hope you are happy with the return of Jaba. I am quite sure this will be the only addition to the team.

[Blackhawk]

If we play like we did the last few months we have no chance of qualifying. They might be a tougher opponent than Copenhagen.

[Ellada2004]

Good draw for PAOK! Another Danish side.

[Blackhawk]

Dates and times for the two games:

17/2/2022 - 19:45 EET:  FC Midtjylland - PAOK FC   (MCH Arena Herning)
24/2/2022 - 22:00 EET:  PAOK FC - FC Midtjylland  (Toumba Stadium, Thessaloniki)

[Blackhawk]

PAOK is allowed to make 3 additions to the players list for the upcoming games against Midtjylland.  However some players will need to be cut if the 3 additions exceed the 25 player limit.

Here's a copy-paste of what you so helpfully provided in September. Not sure who will make way, as Kagawa and Soares didn't make the list initially (and we definitely will want Ingason instated in the upcoming games). I'm guessing Mihaj and Michailidis both will lose their positions in favor of Ingason + a new CB, though it *should* be Varela and Crespo.

 

List A:
Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Άκπομ, Μπίσεσβαρ, Κρέσπο, Ελ Καντουρί, Εσίτι , Σίντκλεϊ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Κούρτιτς, Βαρέλα, Λύρατζης, Τέιλορ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μιχάι, Μιτρίτσα, Μουργκ, Σβαμπ, Ντούγκλας, Σφιντέρσκι, Τσιγγάρας, Βιεϊρίνια, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς.

List B:
Αβεντισιάν, Μπαλωμένος, Γαϊτανίδης, Γιαξής, Γρόσδης, Καλουτσικίδης, Κουλιεράκης, Κούτσιας , Παναγιώτου, Τάχατος, Ταλιχμανίδης , Τσαούσης, Τσοπούρογλου

Only three teams had more possession of the ball in ECL GS:

Who is the image they used for us??

[Dutch Eagle]

Did not see that, Pash. You are very sharp!

But what a wankers at UEFA. This is the second time in a few weeks with a wrong picture next to our logo.
