Athens, Nov 26 (IANS): Greek football club APOEL coach Giorgos Donis has said that FC Barcelona is on a different level and APOEL need to be realistic.
The Spanish giants defeated APOEL 4-0 away in a Champions League match even without their regular starters Tuesday, reports Xinhua.
Donis said: "We need to be realistic. Despite our efforts and performance, we knew we were up against a team on another level. The result is normal given how they played and how the game went. My players gained some valuable experience. It is one thing to watch them on TV and something else entirely to play against them."
