THE Panathinaikos was defeated by the Rangers 2-0 in Scotland in the first game for the second qualifying round of the Champions League, with Rui Vitoria believing in overthrowing the OAKA rematch.
After the Panathinaikos defeat by RangersRui Vitoria argued that the Greens had the perfect game until miscarriage, while expressing his belief in overthrowing the scene at the OAKA.
What Rui Vittoria said
“The second half didn’t go as we wanted, we had a player less especially at this stage of the season. This greatly affected the team’s performance in the second half. I think the match can be divided into two parts, until elimination. Difficult to respond to this point with a player less. In the other place we could be 2-0 in front, we almost made the perfect look until we received the red. We didn’t score the goals we needed. In the Chamoions League you have to take the opportunities. Proud of my players for their performance. Nothing is over.
Certainly the result wasn’t what we wanted. We can do it, we showed at 11vs11 that we are a big team. We want our fans at the OAKA to do it and thank those who came here tonight, we felt them. We can do it and they do everything. We have shown that we can take many opportunities to turn the result and qualify.
We will be even better in the future. We have to see things with a cold mind. In the first part we made an amazing appearance, especially in such a good team, in its stadium. Only our goal was missing. We did very well. It gives us faith that we can overturn the result. The difference was made by the details, not the quality. Excessive the 2nd card in Vagiannidis, this made the difference, not the quality. “
