The Greek side are back in Europe’s elite club tournament after one season away. They came through qualifying, beating Russian side Krasnodar over two legs. They are regulars in the group stages of this competition, but have not made it into the knockout rounds since 2013-14. Their best ever run was to the quarter-finals in 1998.

It has been an impressive start for Martins’ side this season as they have won three out of three domestically and scored 13 goals, conceding only one, in qualifying ties against Viktoria Plzen, Istanbul Basaksehir and Krasnodar. Their perfect start in pursuit of the Greek Super League title will be welcomed – Olympiacos have gone two seasons without the title, their longest such stint since the mid-1990s. They won their game at the weekend 5-0 against Volos and sit top of the early league table.
