AEK win the title on a last-gasp gut-punch
Panathinaikos lost the league to AEK in the cruelest way. Joao Mario scored in the 90+4 to seal a 2–1 win for AEK and hand them the championship (1). The Portuguese FA posted a congratulatory message specifically calling Joao Mario "the person responsible for the final touch on AEK's title" (8). That is what it felt like from the green side.
Under Benitez, Panathinaikos have won just 2 of 11 derbies and scored only 6 goals (5). Those numbers explain a lot about this season.
Desers: 'No regrets, but it was a tough season'
Bart Desers spoke after the match. A difficult season for him personally due to injuries, but he says he is happy at Panathinaikos and does not regret leaving Rangers (2) (3) (6). Good to hear he is committed. Now he needs to stay fit.
Transfer: Vukotic bid reportedly submitted
According to Serbian reports, Panathinaikos have submitted a formal offer of 3 million euros to Partizan for midfielder Milan Vukotic (7) (9). Nothing confirmed from the club side yet, but the Serbian press is consistent on this one. A midfield signing would make sense given how thin the squad looked this season.
