“We are happy to be among the best 32 teams of Europe once more. At this stage there are no easy opponents. All three teams come from some of the best football schools in Europe. We have to prove our valueon the pitch. We are optimistic… Certainly, the fact that the first match is at home is a good thing” said Mr Marinakis and continued:
“As we have witnessed in the recent friendly match againstInter and despite the fact that we were left with 10 men, we did not give up and could have won if it weren’t for a last-minute goal.
I cannot tell whether Arsenal or Dortmund or Marseille arebetter. Not only do our players have the skills and the experience, but they also want to prove their value and make us all happy.
We are very pleased that we are participating once again in the Champions League and we are convinced that we can make it. After all, Olympiacos, as usual, will rise to the occasion …..” stated the President.
