Panathinaikos Athens lost for the fifth time in six games last night against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in the EuroLeague yesterday. The Greek fans were throwing various objects during the match, while head coach Dejan Radonjic's post-game press conference was one of the shortest ever.

After the match, Panathinaikos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos took to Instagram to attack both the EuroLeague and the match's referees.

"Surely one of the worst massacres you've done to us," the businessman posted in a story first.

Giannakopoulos went on to repost an episode of Mathias Lessort supposedly fouling Marius Grigonis, then a bunch of clips where Partizan players are said to commit unnoticed travelling violations.

"This is a robbery of our time, energy, and money," he wrote later. "You have been stealing our time, energy, and money for the last 20 years but when we asked to leave your rigged competition you didn't allow us. Why?"

According to SDNA, Panathinaikos are expected to file a protest to the EuroLeague over the refereeing decisions during the game.
