The history of European clashes between Benfica and PAOK is short, but there are some moments which deserve some attention

The first match was in 1999/2000, for the 2nd qualifier of the UEFA Cup, Benfica went to Salonica, won, by 1-2 (Nuno Gomes and Ronaldo), and brought an important advantage to Luz.

Nevertheless, in Lisboa, PAOK came back in the result and forced the penalties. Benfica was stronger, won 4-1 and reached the next stage.

Later on, after these matches, Benfica signed two players, who stood out, from PAOK: Sabry (scored Luz) and Machairidis.
