Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Olympiacos today, resulting in their elimination from the European Conference League. Despite a promising lead in the first leg, Maccabi was unable to hold its ground and suffered a 6-1 defeat. This was the most humiliating defeat for the Israeli team in European competition.
Channel 7 writes about this.
After a confident victory over the Greeks in the last game, Maccabi was counting on an easy passage to the next stage. However, from the first minutes of the match it became clear that the guests from Greece did not intend to give up. Maccabi star Milson was injured, weakening the team’s position, and poor defensive play prevented them from maintaining their lead.
After losing three goals by halftime, Maccabi tried to get back into the game, but to no avail. The Greeks responded to Zahavi’s second-half penalty with another goal, forcing overtime. In extra time, Olympiacos sealed their victory by scoring two more goals.
This defeat was a disappointment for Maccabi fans who had hoped for a successful advance to the next stage. The team missed a real chance for a historic achievement, becoming the first Israeli club to reach the quarter-finals of European competition.
