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. After a transfer journey in Latin America he brought Fernando Navas, Emanuel Ruiz and Ferrugem 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 first round of the UEFA Cup, AEK were drawn against Hungarian Vasas. At Ferenc Puskás Stadium, AEK appeared sluggish, but at the start of the second half, they woke up and quickly scored 2 goals, while later the laziness returned with the result of being equalizing with 2 goals in the last minutes of the match. In rematch of Nikos Goumas Stadium AEK appeared more serious and with Maladenis, who was the protagonist of the match, scored a goal in the 27th minute and two minutes later, won a penalty scored by Nikolaidis, with the 2–0 being the final score. The next opponent for the yellow-blacks were Herfølge from Denmark. First match in Athens, where the amazing Nikolaidis scored an impressive of 4 of goals and Zikos scored another goal with a nice shot and AEK achieved an emphatic victory. In the rematch, the Danes took the lead from very early on with AEK equalizing. In the second half, Herfølge again took the lead with a penalty and the match ended with an unacceptable defeat for the Greek club. In the round of 32, the difficult times came for AEK, who were drawn with the German Bayer Leverkusen, were in the top of the Bundesliga at that time. The first match at the BayArena, where in a historic night for the Greek team, AEK took the lead early on, but then conceded 2 goals. However, AEK pressed and equalized, but before the celebrations were stopped, Bayer made it 3–2 with the yellow-blacks equalizing with a penalty. In the 79th minute, AEK made it 3–4 and while the Germans continued to press hard eventually AEK's defense hold again, conceding a goal at the end of the game which ended in the impressive 4–4. The rematch of Nikos Goumas on 7th December was an even more impressive night for AEK who scored at the beginning of the match, while in the second half they doubled their lead with a direct free kick and achieved a huge qualification win, which was one of the important in their European history. In the round of 16, things became even more difficult since AEK were drawn with the great Barcelona of Rivaldo, Kluivert, Overmars, Luis Enrique, Guardiola and De Boer. In the first leg at Nea Filadelfeia in a fantastic atmosphere, AEK stood up well, but a mistake by the yellow-black defense in the 42nd minute was enough for the Spanish team to open the score, where it remained until the end of the match and their few hopes of qualification they seemed to fly away. In the rematch at Camp Nou, the Greek club entered strongly, but Barcelona did not panic and crushed the yellow-blacks with a wide score of 5–0. AEK Athens' European run ended with elimination by the mighty Spanish team.^[1]

In the cup, AEK initially played in a group with Panathinaikos, AEL, Ethnikos Piraeus, Kozani and Olympiacos Volos and passed as second behind Panathinaikos in the next round, where it were drawn against Olympiacos. The first match took place in Nea Filadelfeia, where AEK entered the match well and took the lead with Nikolaidis. However, in a tackle by Zikos, where ended up to Nikolaidis, went to score another goal, the referee whistled for a foul. Zikos protested and the referee sent him off with a second yellow. In the midst of chaos that followed the referee expelled Nikolaidis as well with a straight red. AEK with 9 men, were equalized and as the heated crowd in the stands were angrier, Petros Stathis made a decision that would mark the history of the club and after whispering to Pathiakakis, 3 players of AEK fell down pretending to be wounded. The AEK ultras broke the railings of the roof and invade the pitch and as a result the match was suspended with the red and whites winning by 2–0 without a match. In the rematch Pathiakakis made a confusing decision, using a mixture of substitutes and main players in the lineup in another nightmare evening for AEK, where the match ended in a 6–1 defeat. After the game Pathiakakis left AEK.^[2]

In the championship, 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 eventually AEK fell psychologically later, in the elimination from the cup by Olympiacos. After the departure of Pathiakakis, Toni Savevski retired as a footballer and "overnight" he became the coach of the team as a "duo" with Eugène Gerards,^[3] however AEK did not manage to save many things from the season, as they finished in third place, 17 points from the top.

Round of 16

AEK Athens v Olympiacos

10 January 2001 First leg	AEK Athens	0–2 (Awarded)	Olympiacos	Nea Filadelfeia
20:00 EET (UTC+2)	Zikos   52' Petkov Nikolaidis 46',  53' Karagiannis  57'	Report (page 48)	Zé Elias Poursanidis Anatolakis Niniadis 67'	Stadium: Nikos Goumas Stadium Attendance: 20,000 Referee: Dimitris Pontikis (Thessaloniki)
Note: At the 52nd minute, while AEK were leading by 1–0, the referee awarded 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 and expelled him. Then chaos was created and in the midst of that situation, the referee expelled Nikolaidis as well, with a straight red. As AEK played with 9 men, Olympiacos equalized and with an electrified atmosphere, Petros Stathis whispered something to Pathiakakis and 3 AEK players fell down right then and there pretending to be injured. At the same time, AEK ultras invaded the pitch, resulting in the suspension of the match in the 72nd minute and the 0–2 win without a match for Olympiacos.[2][38]
