Club career

Panathinaikos

Alexandropoulos plays mainly as a midfielder and joined Panathinaikos from the team's youth ranks. Having recently just turned 19, he's become a near automatic starter for Panathinaikos this season, when you consider that the team has had three coaches in 6 months and that Alexandropoulos missed a whole season recovering from a bad leg injury. In the Greek League playoffs he was arguably Panathinaikos's best player, while he hadn't played much under the Spanish coach Dani Poyatos. On 15 June 2021, he signed an extension with the club until the summer of 2024. [2]

International career

On 24 March 2021, Alexandropoulos was called up to the Greek senior team by coach John van 't Schip for the forthcoming World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Spain and Georgia. On 28 March 2021, he made his debut with the national team as a substitute in a friendly match against Honduras. [3]
