Only a good run by Olympiakos can save Greece
UEFA
Greece was left with only Olympiakos in the European competitions and things are very difficult for our country in the UEFA standings.
Greece may have taken 500 points on Thursday and moved up to 16th in the UEFA standings as they tried the Czech Republic again, but now after Thursday’s results (11/8) things got even worse as only Olympiacos managed to find themselves in the next phase after qualifying on penalties against Slovan. On the contrary, the Czechs continue with three teams and the Danes with four, so the risk of Greece being in 18th place is visible.
Where Greece will be at the end of the season depends on how far the “red and whites” will go, who are the only team that continues in Europe and will definitely play in a group after being eliminated after playing in the Conference groups League. .
Panathinaikos drew 1-1 with Slovan, got 125 points but does not continue in the European competitions, while the same happened with Aris who, although they beat Maccabi and added 250 points, could not overturn the weight of the score of the first match. . With the result that he too will be excluded from the continuation of the European competitions.
