Nikolaos Lyberopoulos

Nikolaos Lyberopoulos is a Greek football player born on the 4th of September, 1975 in Filiatra, near Kalamata. He is a striker that currently plays football for AEK Athens. Previously, he played for Erani Filiatron, Kalamata FC and Panathinaikos. He is perhaps the most popular football player to come from the Peloponnesus.

He has played 45 matches for Greece. In those games he has scored 9 goals, his most memorable being the one against Kazakhstan, winning the match for Greece in the last seconds of additional time. When playing for Panathinaikos he reached the semifinal leg of the UEFA Champions League, playing at extremely good level. Italian clubs, mainly Juventus and Hellas Verona showed interest in hiring him, but his love to the green trefoil made him stay in Athens.

In 2002 he entered into conflict with Panathinaikos' bosses, due to his demand for a well-paid contract extension, and left the club. He had offers from arch rivals Olympiakos, Olympique Marseille and RC Lens from France but finally chose AEK Athens where he is the main weapon of the black and yellow team and also the first offensive choice as well as the team captain. He can play as center forward, right wing and attacking midfielder, and his most recognized gifts are his accurate shot, his speed and his talent in one-to-one situations where he hardly ever misses.
