About last night...

Three Cyprus teams in the Conference League knockouts, albeit jn the playoffs!

APOEL, Pafos FC and Omonia are all through. Here's an added little nugget of intrigue... there's a guarantee that 2 of the 3 will play each other. An AIONIO derby in Europe?

Don't mind if I do!

Based on results last night and final placings in the league phase, Cyprus gets the below values divided by 4 and added to the association coefficient points gained this season:

3 draws: 1x3
APOEL in 11th: 1.75
Pafos in 12th: 1.625
Omonia in 22nd: 0.375

Unfortunate that Pafos or Omonoia won't go through as I was optimistic all 3 of our teams could be in the last 16. Apoel and Pafos were within inches of being there already and Omonoia surely has good chances against most of the other sides. Alas, at least we 100% have 1 team, maybe 2.

Very disappointing result especially for APOEL, as Astana were there for the taking if not for the referee performance.

But still, the only way is up for Cyprus!

Eh I don't know how much higher we can get. Realistically we maybe can catch Croatia, but other than that we need another great year as this one before we talk about anything higher than 18th

That's correct... Croatia currently has about 0.9 more points. However, the only team still in Europe is Dinamo Zagreb, and they are currently sitting in the last play-off place in the Champions League...

And they have to play Arsenal and AC Milan.

Only downside to Pafos playing Omonia is that we will lose a team into the next round. But two Cypriot clubs playing each other in a European cup comp was certainly not on anyone's bingo card!
