Career edit
On 16 May 2018, Papadopoulos signed a two-year contract with Asteras Tripolis.[2] On 13 May 2019, he put pen to paper to a contract extension, until the summer of 2022.[3]
On 21 March 2021, Papadopoulos scored the first, and only to date, goal of his career, through a powerful shot from the penalty area in the 97th minute of play. This goal, which helped Asteras achieve a 2–2 draw in their match against Panathinaikos for the Superleague Greece championship playoffs,[4] marked the first time a goalkeeper scored a goal in the Greek top tier since Arian Beqaj in 2001,[5] and in Greek professional football in general since Gennadios Xenodochof in 2015.[6]
