**Kostas Ioannidis:** It was indeed a remarkable day. two wins and a draw without conceding a single goal is a testament to the quality and resilience of our clubs. AEK’s dominating win against Dnipro, PAOK’s gritty performance against Braga, and Olympiacos’s solid draw against Steaua all showcased the strengths of Greek football.
**World-Today-News:** Olympiacos, despite the draw, seemed to have struggled against Steaua, especially with the second yellow card shown to a Steaua player. What are your thoughts on their current standing in the europa League?
**Kostas Ioannidis:** While the draw itself might appear underwhelming, considering Steaua played a large portion of the second half with ten men, Olympiacos displayed a mature and controlled performance. They successfully shut down Steaua’s attacks and secured a valuable point away from home. However, their current position in the Europa League, needing to qualify through knockout matches to reach the Round of 16, is a worry.They need to recapture the winning momentum from their previous matches to secure a more favorable spot in the group.
**World-Today-News:** On a brighter note, both AEK and PAOK secured victories. How do you see their prospects in their respective competitions?
**Kostas Ioannidis:**
AEK’s win reinforces their status as a dominant force in the Conference League. Their consistent performance and attacking prowess make them a serious contender for the trophy. PAOK’s victory against Braga was a crucial one. They demonstrated their resilience and tactical flexibility, wich will be essential for their success in the later stages of the Europa League.
**World-Today-News:** Looking ahead, what are your predictions for Greek teams in the next round of matches?
**Kostas Ioannidis:** I believe the momentum will continue. AEK willCm continue their extraordinary form in the Conference League. PAOK will face a tough challenge against Braga, but I expect a competitive match. And Olympiacos needs a decisive win to steer their campaign back on track. This will require a strong home performance against their upcoming opponents.
**World-Today-News:** Thank you for your insights, Kostas.This certainly paints a promising picture for the future of Greek football on the European Stage.
