Squad

5 goals for Karl Fabien

The match ball belongs to Karl Fabien, whose 5 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

Karl Fabien sends Levski through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Karl Fabien obliged against Spartak 1918. 6‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Levski.

Match

Levski make it 8 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Levski have 8 straight wins of it.

Market

Christian Makoun hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Levski can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

3 goals for Mustapha Sangaré

The match ball belongs to Mustapha Sangaré, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

Levski refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 29 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Adrian Raychev at 20 — 7.83

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Adrian Raychev did not need any: 7.83, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

6 goals as Levski and Spartak 1918 go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Levski and Spartak 1918, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Mustapha Sangaré

Marked 9.56 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Levski through in the cup

A 3‑2 win over Chernomorets Burgas, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Levski run riot against Montana

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Market

Levski say no — this time

The offer from Ferencvaros for Christian Makoun was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Both of them Mustapha Sangaré's — 8.98

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.98, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Both of them Marko Dugandžić's — 8.67

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.67, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Adrian Raychev, 20, steals the show — 8.18

Marked 8.18 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

The terraces

Levski sell a favourite for $4.4M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Svetoslav Vutsov was one of the reasons people came, and $4.4M does not replace that by itself.

Market

Levski sell Svetoslav Vutsov for $4.4M

Svetoslav Vutsov has left for Sparta Prague in a $4.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

Levski rebuffed over Jorginho

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kairat have kept their man, and Levski go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

In brief

  • Match Levski make it 3 in a row
  • Transfer targets No deal for Julien Lamy at that price
  • Squad Tempers go at Levski
