PAOK were given a 12.7% chance of qualifying tonight.
Olympiacos were given a 2.5% chance.
For both to qualify? 0.3%

I’m sorry but what makes that AEK victory even more ridiculous is they did it WITHOUT first-choice CBs Vida and Moukoudi
Forget Brighton missing Lewis Dunk, AEK had a makeshift MIDFIELDER next to a 23-year-old who played 8 matches last season

One thing that may be (understandably) missed tonight is that Olympiacos needed to beat Villa in BOTH legs for Greece to have a hope of two Champions League places.
They'd never beaten an English team home AND away in a single season before tonight.

As manager of Panathinaikos, new Greek national team manager Ivan Jovanovic beat Marseille and Villarreal.
As APOEL manager, he beat FC Copenhagen, Zenit St. Petersburg, Porto and Lyon. APOEL also drew away at Chelsea and went unbeaten against Atl Madrid.
The man gets results.

Former Panathinaikos manager Ivan Jovanovic is the new manager of the Ethniki! The Serbian coach & EPO came to an agreement of a 2 year deal.

AEK incredibly lucky with two shocking refereeing decisions vs Olympiakos. Still 2-1 ahead.
On the other hand, Olympiakos are lucky there are no fans in the stadium. The riot would be worth a five point deduction at the very least.

Tragic news from Athens.
Michalis, an AEK fan in his 20s, was stabbed to death in clashes with Dinamo Zagreb ultras yesterday evening.
The worst part is this is by no means the first fan in Greece who has lost their life over football.
Nasos, Tosko, Alki... How many more?

What's frustrating about this is that without the penalties, AEK would be 2nd on 8 points, only needing to match Brighton's final result to qualify.

AEK 1-0 PAOK
The sign to the left reads:
‘I ❤️ Volos - Football is a celebration, not violence’
Unfortunately, without fans, this is neither…

Result harsh on the Greeks who defended superbly throughout
Thought Ioannidis was sublime - so physically strong, great link up play, tireless without the ball and caused Ake plenty of problems running in behind
Would Giakoumakis have provided more of a goal threat? Possibly
