Panathinaikos Aims to Replicate Krakow Performance in Plzen

Panathinaikos aims to replicate their successful performance from Krakow in the return leg against Plzen in the Czech Republic. Despite the first match in Athens ending in a 2-2 draw, the team wants to break Plzen's unbeaten run in the Europa League and secure qualification. The team's composition has changed significantly since the match in Krakow, with only 10 players remaining from that game. Qualification will provide Panathinaikos with significant financial benefits and boost their European ranking. A victory will also give the team a morale boost, as they face difficulties in the domestic league. Management and players emphasize the importance of teamwork and solidarity to achieve their goal.
