2000–01 AEK Athens F.C. season

Supplier: NikeSponsor(s): MarfinFeatures: Samsung The season started with the multinational Netmed and ENIC at the wheel and with Cornelius Sierhuis and Petros Stathis in command.

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.

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.

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 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.

The list is sorted by competition order when total clean sheets are equal, then by shirt number and then alphabetically by surname.
