Maccabi Tel Aviv visits Panionios this evening in Athens, Greece in the second leg of Europa League Third Round Qualifying at 22:00. The players took a stroll through Athens earlier this afternoon and will head out to the Nea Smyrni Stadium later in the day.
Midfielder Eyal Golasa received a pleasant surprise when a PAOK fan especially came to visit him and he had a jersey from the Greek club with him in the lobby of the club’s hotel. Golasa was excited about the gesture, signed the jersey for the fan and spoke with him for a short while. “This fan came a long way to see me and it’s an amazing feeling. It’s wonderful how much they appreciate you.”
Afterwards, number 23 continued: “It’s great to return to Greece. The atmosphere is always good here and we want to add to that following the contest. We have a very difficult match ahead of us at a stadium that is not an easy place to play in. But we will work hard as we usually do and bring home a good result. There will be a fantastic atmosphere and that will be good for both clubs as well.”
