By: Peter Katsiris | No Comments
I can’t believe it, but it is a reality:Olympiacos is officially out of the UEFA Champions League for this season. It’s something I wouldn’t expect to say until after the group stage, or even later — especially after making the Round of 16 lineup. Unfortunately, ‘O Thrylos’ couldn’t stave off an early exit, and the [...]

By: Peter Katsiris | No Comments
Olympiacos fell 3-2 to Spanish side Racing Santander tonight, but the loss was little disappointment to the thousands of fans who packed the Georgios Karaiskaki stadium. Goals from Avraam Papadopoulos and Luciano Galletti were not enough to edge out Racing Santander, who scored via Jonathan Pereira Ebi Smolarek and benefited from a Leonardo own goal.
