References

1. The original match ended 2–1 for Panathinaikos and was followed by a penalty shoot-out. While CSKA Sofia was leading 3–2, the Soviet referee Valentin Lipatov interrupted the shoot-out and declared the Bulgarian team the winners (although CSKA Sofia had only shot three penalties with no misses and Panathinaikos had shot four penalties with two misses). Therefore, UEFA decided that the match should be replayed.
2. Original opponent Dynamo Kyiv was disqualified by UEFA after a prior match where Spanish referee Antonio Jesús López Nieto reported a bribe attempt by the club. UEFA promoted Dynamo Kyiv's qualifying round rivals AaB to replace them.
