Broos and Vanden Stock surprised

* Roger Vanden Stock : "Everybody was surprised because of the strength of Panathinaikos."
* Hugo Broos : "We played pretty well in the first half. In the second half, the Greeks were much stronger. It's normal we lost.

Deschacht and Hasi were injured, Ilic got injured after the first half... That all was a bit too much for us. Panathinaikos are a very good team and they play modern football. Unfortunatly, we couldn't save the 2nd leg match."
"I asked the players to play more offensive. I guess they were impressed of Olisadebe and therefore they kept on defending too close to our own box. Panathinaikos have everything to win the UEFA-Cup."
