Panathinaikos started the season hoping to play in the Europa League, but Ajax shattered their dreams in an incredible penalty shootout. Diego Alonso’s team then entered the Conference League qualification, facing Lens. Despite a 2-1 first-leg defeat, they managed to win 3-2 on aggregate. In the competition proper, they drew 1-1 against Borac Banja Luka on matchday one. Anastasios Bakasetas scored for the Greek side, but Djordje Despotović cancelled it out after the break. Chelsea are back playing European football, but they nearly came unstuck in their Conference League qualifier against Servette, after winning the opening leg 2-0 at Stamford Bridge they conspired to lose 2-1 on the road. Christopher Nkunku scored in both matches from the penalty spot. He also scored on matchday one in Enzo Maresca’s team’s 4-2 win over Gent, with Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also finding the net.
