The Olympiacos coach reportedly reacted by climbing over the barriers and confronting the fan, triggering a heated exchange. During the incident, Bartzokas is also said to have insulted Panathinaikos and its supporters, allegedly shouting offensive remarks toward the Greens, which led to strong indignation from the Athens-based club.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1276\">In its official statement, Panathinaikos strongly condemned the episode and Bartzokas\u2019 behavior, expressing surprise that Olympiacos did not distance itself from the incident in any way.
