Notes

1. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian teams are required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.
2. Panathinaikos play their home European matches at the Olympic Stadium, in Athens, instead of their regular stadium, the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, in Athens.
3. Panathinaikos returned to play the remaining of their European games back to their natural home stadium Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, after the closure of Olympic Stadium, due to a problem found with the shelter of the stadium.
