PAO took a bow and waved goodbye

With a heavy defeat (after the 5-1 loss at Barcelona) Panathinaikos waved his European dreams goodbye. The greens, once more, bowed in front of Barcelona, probably the best club in the world, who scored a goal whenever they decided to play properly. The final 0-3 seems natural, although the match might have taken a different turn when Cissé lost a big chance in 20΄.  
 
Panathinaikos has lost all hope now even for the 3rd position, which leads to Europa Cup, since Rubin Kazan beat Copenhagen. So the greens waved an early goodbye to one of their poorest European seasons…
