At Panathinaikos, Warzycha fought for a regular place in the storm from the start and was able to collect a number of national titles and awards. Including five championships and five cup wins. During this time Warzycha rose to the public's favorite and remains one of the most popular athletes of all time in Greece for a large number of supporters of other teams.

On April 29, 2001 in a game against Ionikos Nikea Warzycha scored his 233rd goal in the Greek championship and closed up to Mimis Papaioannou , who was until then alone in second place on the all-time goalscorer list.
