Panathinaikos AKTOR He reached Belgrade more easily than anyone expected, and in a fortnight was substantial and serious, as his rivals could not. Alexandros Trigas writes.
The EuroLeague regular season is non-stop and non-stop. From the first moment to the last. Accordingly, of course, its evolution is so fast that it does not allow you to be happy or sad for a long time. The events of the last five days prove this to be true.
And from SEF's defeat… a top-six exit, the right to set the record for a double-century at Stark Arena and home advantage in the playoffs.
No, Panathinaikos AKTOR did not become the favorite of the four overnight. At least not thanks to its own effect. To change the situation, Armani Milano (for Monaco) and Anatolo Efes (for Olympiakos) took a… curtain.

Best opportunity in OAKA
With Olympiacos and Monaco winless in this two-day match, Panathinaikos AKTOR knows he has a great opportunity ahead of him. Defeat Barcelona and become the ultimate boss of home advantage.
It's simple; Rhetorical question. But the good thing for Shamrocks is that they can count on multiple draws with Monaco being a part of it – they've won it twice and they love it in all multiple ties.
On March 22, 2024, a numerical level will be created that no one counted on November 3, 2023 (includes -8 of the 1st round), then, Oleg Balcherovsky, Panathinaikos AKTOR Ltd. – 28 (75 -47 at 32') Barcelona was in the last period.
Who would have thought…
