Newsroom August 25 11:40

PAOK, led by the amazing 18-year-old Christos Tzolis who scored two goals and gave one assist, kept the dream of the Champions League alive as he qualified to the 3rd qualifying round after beating Besiktas 3-1 in Thessaloniki.

Even if PAOK does not qualify later, it will definitely be in the Europa League groups.

With soul, passion the Greek team from Macedonia qualified for the next round of the Champions League.

The “black and white” eagles did not leave a chance to the Turkish team in the first half and met its objective easily.
