Greek football clubs in European competitions

Intertoto Cup / UEFA Intertoto Cup

Olympiacos withdrew from the Intertoto Cup for political reasons. Panathinaikos were involved in a replayed match after a penalty shoot-out was interrupted by the Soviet referee Valentin Lipatov, who declared CSKA Sofia winners; UEFA ordered the match replayed. A match involving Panathinaikos was interrupted in the 51st minute with Paris Saint-Germain leading 0–2 due to incidents in the stands, and Paris Saint-Germain were later awarded a 0–3 walkover. Iraklis received a bye. A match between PAOK and Maccabi Tel Aviv ended 2–1 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, but UEFA awarded a 3–0 walkover to Maccabi Tel Aviv because PAOK fielded an ineligible suspended player (Liassos Louka). PAOK were later reinstated to the play-off round after Metalist Kharkiv, who had eliminated PAOK, were excluded by UEFA for involvement in a match-fixing scandal in the 2007–08 season. Panionios were disqualified after the first leg due to fan riots. A Cagliari match was suspended after Cagliari's third goal because three Greek players refused to return to the pitch after being expelled by the police; UEFA validated the 3–0 score as definitive. In a tie where the away goal rule did not exist, a play-off game was played in Vienna, where Olympiacos won 2–0. Olympiacos also withdrew from the competition on another occasion.
