Panathinaikos Files Complaint Demanding Punishment for Bartzokas and Fournier

PAE Panathinaikos AKTOR has filed a complaint with ESAKE, seeking punishment for Olympiacos coach Giorgos Bartzokas and French player Evan Fournier. The complaint concerns incidents that occurred with Panionios fans during the recent match between the two teams. Specifically, Fournier had a threatening behavior towards a Panionios fan in the court seats, resulting in his ejection, while Bartzokas had a verbal altercation with the stands. Panathinaikos hopes that the punishment will be such that both will be absent from the eternal derby on March 30th. Olympiacos has a bye in the next matchday, so a possible penalty could lead to their absence from the 23rd matchday onwards.
