Greek powerhouses Olympiacos and Panathinaikos lock horns on Sunday in one of European football's biggest derbies. French striker Djibril Cisse, who joined Pana last summer, is eagerly anticipating the Athens derby and is dreaming of scoring the match winner.
"It's more than football here in Athens; it's a lifestyle. When you go out, all people talk about is football. I'm not going to repeat the words they use, but Panathinaikos and Olympiacos' fans don't like each other," said Cisse on uefa.com.
"The great thing I like, however, is that it's not violent, it's great fun. It's all about passion, it's about pride. The fans want their team to be the king of Athens and they want to be the kings of Athens. It's good. To me it's exciting.
"I dream about scoring the winning goal. That drives me on and I'm quite lucky on derby days in general. I scored for Auxerre on derby day, I managed to do the same twice for Marseille against Paris Saint-Germain, for Sunderland against Newcastle and I also scored for Liverpool against Everton," revealed the much-travelled hitman.
Panathinaikos currently sit two points clear of their rivals at the top of the standings.
