OFI: Athanasiou at the top of the Europa League creators

Nikos Athanasiou is one of the main protagonists of OFI's excellent European campaign, recording a special performance in the Europa League League Phase.

The Cretans have collected six points after the first four matchdays, thanks to victories against Hoffenheim and Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and remain in contention for qualification to the knockout playoffs of the competition.

Three assists and first place for Athanasiou

The 25-year-old left-back has a decisive contribution to OFI's course, as he is at the top of the list of Europa League creators with three assists.

The same performance has been achieved by Javi Vázquez of Torreense, Zachariassen of Ferencváros, Mikel Oyarzabal of Real Sociedad, and Olaitan of Beşiktaş.

This first place confirms Athanasiou's offensive influence on OFI's game. With his runs and final passes, he has evolved into one of the team's most important sources of creation, leaving a strong mark on the European competition.
