Fans of Greek sides Olympiakos and PAOK put the mental in monumental as they greeted their heroes with a ring of fire.

As players from both teams walk onto the pitch ahead of their cup semi-final second leg they received the warmest of welcomes in Thessaloniki.

The whole ground lights up as flares are let off in every stand by the supporters and smoke soon obscures the players from view as a pea-souper from the fires descends onto the playing area.

More worryingly, the fans then use the pitch as a giant ashtray by throwing their flares onto the grass and set fire to one of the dug outs.

PAOK eventually went through on away goals after a 1-0 win following a 2-1 defeat in the first leg in Athens with visiting players Maniatis and Nelson Valdez claiming they were struck with missiles as they left the pitch after the feisty encounter in which both teams had a player sent off.
