PAOK failed to win the title in its 100-year history. Now, the goal is second place, which leads to the Champions League qualifiers.
After the match in Faliro, Răzvan Lucescu stated: "AEK managed some situations very well, they had fewer European games compared to their competitors, they were consistent, congratulations on the championship, we paid for the bad start in early February, we tried to make our comeback but it was very difficult by then, especially after two games where you play against Olympiacos and they have the same goal as you.
We experienced today's match intensely, it's not easy to play in this stadium, we had two scenarios in mind, either AEK's slip-up against Panathinaikos, or for us to win the game, now we are focused on second place which leads to the Champions League qualifiers. It was a difficult season, even two days ago we still had problems, like with Ozdoev and Taison, it was a difficult year, it's not over yet and we must continue and not give up."
