Ajax to play PAOK of Greece in Champions League qualifying
Ajax will start its Champions League campaign against unbeaten Greek league winner PAOK Thessaloniki in the third qualifying round drawn Monday.
Last season, four-time European champion Ajax reached the semifinals in May having entered the competition in the second preliminary round in July.
Tough path to the Champions League group stage for AEK
The European cup qualifying rounds' draws were smooth enough for most Greek teams on Monday, though not for Greek champion AEK.
The Yellows will join the Champions League from the third qualifying round facing the winner of the tie between Celtic and Rosenborg. The games will be played on August 7 or 8 in Scotland or Norway, and the return is in Athens on August 14.
