1–1 at home, Sofia decides everything
Panathinaikos 1–1 CSKA 1948 in the first leg. The tie is balanced but tense. You head to Sofia needing a win or a scoring draw above 1–1 to advance. The performance left questions.

Garcia loan confirmed, attacking options open up
Livai Garcia is now a Panathinaikos player. The Trinidad and Tobago international arrives on loan from Spartak Moscow with a purchase option, and he is registered in the UEFA squad list in time for the second leg (1). Garcia gives Nistrup a genuine difference-maker in the final third. With Tetey hospitalized and Pantelidis out long-term, the timing could not be better.

"I believe Athens and Panathinaikos will be the ideal place for his development for another two or three years," Skegro said (3). No deal is done, but the door is clearly open.
