Maccabi Tel Aviv’s European campaign will probably end tomorrow (Thursday) at 19:55 when the Yellows take to the field in Kiev for a rematch against Shakhtar Donetsk when they are 2-0 behind in the game in Israel. The chances on the part of Patrick van Leven’s trainees are particularly slim and it looks like they will be separated from the Europa League factory with a relegation in the last 32 stage, which they reached for the second time in the club’s history, as happened in 2013/14.

But, the Yellows are undoubtedly signing for them a very successful European season with two very significant achievements. First, monetary income. As you may recall, following the relegation of the team from the play-offs of the Champions League qualifiers directly to the home stage of the Europa League, their financial grant has been significantly and as of today, before the game and without any known result, the Yellows’ financial income is about 12.5 million euros.

An asterisk should be put here, after the UEFA announced that there will be a cut in the amount, but it will not be significant at all as feared by Maccabi Tel Aviv and as published in ONE, the cut should be only 3.6% and will only be calculated at the end of the plant. A. Divide the royalties over the last season. Currently on paper the guaranteed amount to the Yellows is 12 million euros after offsetting 3.6% of royalties.

The second good news comes from the ranking points. The Israeli champion earned 8 ranking points this season and will enter next season with 20.5 ranking points, which will guarantee her a ranking in all qualifying stages if she plays in the Conference League, for at least two qualifying rounds if she plays in the Champions League, when she plays in the Champions League and is relegated to the Europa League qualifiers. Even there, it is likely that 20.5 rating points will be enough to give the Yellows a rating in all rounds.

Tomorrow, as mentioned, the Yellows will meet Shakhtar in a game that will probably end their way in the tournament, but they can still come out of it with a line. If, for example, they finish in a draw, they will earn another full ranking point for next season and will be with 21.5. Anyway, for coach Patrick Van Leven, the goal is a good result and he believes in the ability of his trainees to come out with a draw or with a win from the game in Ukraine. He told his trainees: “We have reached good situations against them in Israel, we need to know how to put them online because we will be able to create situations against them in Kiev as well, and it is a pity that we will regret it later.”

The coach will make a number of changes in the lineup in relation to the one that won the Hapoel Beer Sheva Cup and he will bring back to his 11th Dan Glazer, Andre Geralds, Luis Hannards, Eitan Tibi, Alexander Peshich and Tal Ben Haim. The big question will be in terms of the player who will play on the right side, whether it will be giving a hoax again or Dan Bitton will get the chance once again after Bloomfield was replaced in the half by a hoax.
