In a statement, the club refers to an attempt to portray AEK as having been favored by the referees in the match against Levadiakos.
The “yellow-and-blacks” speak of “artificial tensions created by those who have turned propaganda into a profession.”
The statement:
AEK consciously chose not to comment after the match against Levadiakos. AEK has no intention of fueling artificial tensions. But given what has happened over the past 48 hours, it cannot remain silent against those who have turned propaganda into a profession and used supposed objectivity as a cover for their well-known professional ties to other teams.
The refereeing did not rise to the occasion, despite the fact that we believe there were no ill intentions. VAR corrected decisions, just as it should. However, this selective outrage the failure to send off a Levadiakos player for an unsportsmanlike incident that occurred in the center of the field—literally right in front of the referee’s eyes—is conspicuously absent.
People now see clearly and understand far more than their narrow-minded worldview can accommodate. That is why they end up making fools of themselves.
