2023-2024 Season

[athinaios]

I think it deserves to be noted that this season has been very exciting so far for the Panatha fans.

I was surprised, to be honest, that PAO would or could pass Marseille and have several great Euro games. Today, they beat Villareal--a powerhouse in Spain and Europe. They won the Europa league 2 years ago, and, ok, they're not the same calibre team, but still they are a great team. Last week they scored 3 against Barca. Today they had 1 great chance to score but PAO stopped them while scoring 2 superb goals by Fotara and Sporar. The bottom line is that I see Greek teams actually being competitive agains much bigger clubs.  For example, PAO has a budget of $24 mil. and Marseille $240... ten timex bigger.

Anyway, let's hope Panatha has a good Euro performance and wins some silverware in Greece.

Great game, proves that PAO has a really good team this year!

Want to take my son to a game, what's the best way to get tickets?  Live in the states.

Good result.

First round, first place again. 2024 a new coach and several new faces.  The top 4 teams will duke it out in the playoffs it seems. But PAO now has a much better roster than last year. I think up to Jan before the new additions, PAO over-achieved given its budget and players.

PAO is starting to look like a regular football club....I don't agree with the change in manager but apparently the behind-the -scene wheeling and dealing is what made the player additions possible. Too bad that Jovanovic had to be sacrificed.

Anyone dare to start the 2024-2025 topic?

The Bernard goal was classic.

Panathiniakos got Fiorentina in the round of 16 UEFA Conference League
Tough draw, but not impossible.
