In Greece, the referee and the "Jewish lobby in UEFA" are blamed for the defeat of Olympiakos
Three days after the crushing 4:0 in Piraeus, Greece is still struggling to digest the humiliation and is already raising conspiracy theories: "Someone at UEFA decided that Olympiakos will not reach the Champions League.
Without the judges, she would have passed Haifa in 99 percent of the cases.
With them, she had no chance"
Voila system!

Summary of Maccabi Haifa's 0:4 over Olympiakos in Greece (Sport1)
More than three days have passed since Maccabi Haifa's resounding 0:4 over Olympiakos, and Greece is still struggling to digest.
The humiliating defeat caused a chain reaction in Piraeus, coach Andre Martins is on the safe way to finish his job and the staff is also expected to suffer a deep shock in the near future - but in Greece there are those who still believe that the stinging loss was not only on professional grounds.
In an opinion column published last night (Saturday) on the "SDNA" website, the commentator Yannis Ablakiotis claims that in fact the judges decided the pair of meetings in favor of the Israeli champion.
"Everyone analyzed the qualitative advantage of Olympiakos and the experience it has in such positions, but they forgot one thing - the interests of UEFA.
The decision that Maccabi Haifa would play Olympiakos was made from above, thanks in no small part to the Jewish lobby in the organization," the writer noted, bringing up a conspiracy theory. "Maccabi Haifa looked like a perfect team in both games, especially in Piraeus, but that's no accident.
The referees were on her side, helping her to complete what UEFA decided would happen before the teams even took to the field. At first glance, it's clear that Olympiakos is better. In 99 percent of the cases, she should have passed Haifa. But as far as referees and politics were concerned, the odds were 0:100 in favor of the Israelis."
The excuses are getting more and more original.

The writer conjured up Haifa's 0:3 victory over Olympiakos in the group stage of the Champions League in 2002, and claims that even then "everyone worked together against Olympiakos. You can analyze the professional mistakes of Martins and the weak ability of the players, but in the end After all, there are things dictated from above. The next time Olympiakos is knocked out by an Israeli team, don't be so surprised."
"Olympiakos didn't even get half a whistle in its favor in the pair of games," he concluded.
"If it weren't for the disallowed goals in the first game, she would have come to the second leg in Piraeus in a completely different state. But the referee determined the result of the game in Haifa, and gave the Israelis the boost they needed."
