Panathinaikos bashes referees for helping Maccabi Tel Aviv amid war

Panathinaikos B.C. is still struggling to digest Tuesday’s loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Game 1 of the EuroLeague quarterfinals. In an official statement released on their X account, the Greeks leveled serious accusations against the officiating and EuroLeague management, alleging that decisions were made to favor Maccabi due to the security situation in Israel.

“Once again, we witnessed gross errors during critical moments of the EuroLeague, reminiscent of the injustices we endured during Jordi Bertomeu’s (former Euroleague chief) presidency,” the statement read.
