Panathinaikos outclassed Villarreal at the Olympic Stadium of Athens and won 2-0 in front of around 60,000 fans.

Elsewhere, Freiburg challenged Olympiakos at the packed Georgios Karaiskakis in Piraeus and won 3-2 for the Europa League. Maximilian Philipp scored the German club’s third goal four minutes from the end.
