Overview

The season started with the multinational Netmed and ENIC at the wheel and with Cornelius Sierhuis and Petros Stathis in command. Giannis Pathiakakis, having made a very good finish in the previous season, took charge of the club's transfers, having a pretty good budget. Pathiakakis after a transfer journey in Latin America bringing several additions to the team, but the transfer "bombs" occurred with Greek footballers. Vasilios Tsiartas returned from Sevilla after 4 years, while Theodoros Zagorakis returned from England to wear the colors of AEK Athens.

In the champinoship, AEK started mediocre, but the psychology went up in the European matches with the qualification against Bayer Leverkusen. The first problems, however, started with the 4–1 defeat from Olympiacos for the championship and in fact AEK finally fell psychologically later, in the cup matches against Olympiacos. Pathiakakis left AEK after the specific matches, Toni Savevski stoped playing football and "overnight" he became the coach of the team as a "duo" with Eugène Gerards, but AEK did not manage to save many things from the season as they finished in third place, 17 points from the top.[1]

Round of 16
10 January 2001 First leg AEK Athens 0–2
(Awarded)		 Olympiacos Nea Filadelfeia
20:00 EET (UTC+2)
Report
Stadium: Nikos Goumas Stadium
Attendance: 20,000
Referee: Dimitris Pontikis (Thessaloniki)
Note: At the 52nd minute, while AEK was leading 1–0, the referee Pontikis gave a foul on a clean tackle by Zikos where the ball ended up to Nikolaidis who came out one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper to make the score 2–0. Zikos protested calmly, but Pontikis showed him a second yellow card and expelled him. Then chaos was created and in the midst of that situation, the referee expelled Nikolaidis as well, with a straight red card. AEK played with 9 men and later Olympiacos managed to equalize with Niniadis. The atmosphere was very electrified and then Petros Stathis whispered something to Pathiakakis and right then and there, 3 AEK players fell down pretending to be injured. At the same time, AEK fans broke the railings of the gate and invaded the area behind the goalpost, resulting in the suspension of the match at the 73th minute and the 0–2 win without a match for Olympiacos.[21]
