Among the top four of Europe

Two lost Cup finals and two failed attempts at winning the Championship being a parenthesis, PAOk sends a message to the whole of Europe in 1990, advancing to the Cup Winners’ Cup semis. The ‘rookie’ team of PAOK touched the miracle, but fell short in the last minutes of the game, losing by 20 points to Virtus Knorr Bologna, a margin really difficult to overcome. The hot atmosphere created by PAOK’s fans in the Alexandrion, was a unique experience for the Italian team, but its quality was very high. PAOK won 100-94, but it wasn’t enough. It was a message to Europe nevertheless, for what was about to follow in the years to come.

For PAOK to advance to the Cup Winners’ Cup semis, it took some very impressive performances, as well as two historic victories. One of them came on December 12, 1989, in Mulhouse France (82-81), with a buzzer beater by Nikos Stavropoulos and on January 23, 1990, the taking down of Real Madrid in a thriller game at the Alexandrion Melathron. PAOK beat Real 80-77, in a game when Bane Prelevic lost three teeth due an elbow blow delivered by Fernando Romay, without that stopping him though from playing till the end of the game…
