Match21 Nov 2026

Maccabi Tel Aviv let it slip despite Ester Sokler

Ester Sokler had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Maccabi Petach Tikva were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Osher Davida runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Mohamed Camara in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Maccabi Tel Aviv this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match21 Nov 2026

Whatever happens, Maccabi Tel Aviv do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

The afternoon belonged to Ion Nicolăescu

7.83, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Maccabi Tel Aviv had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Loan watch23 Nov 2026

Noam Ben-Harush counts the days

“I watch every Maccabi Tel Aviv game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at PSM runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match31 Oct 2026

Emir Sahiti sends Maccabi Tel Aviv past Hapoel Acre

It finished 1‑0, and it was Emir Sahiti’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Ester Sokler in a row with a teammate

Squad2 Nov 2026

Issouf Sissokho gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

The afternoon belonged to Emir Sahiti

A mark of 7.56, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

Wages eat 86% of everything Maccabi Tel Aviv earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Kristijan Belić goes up and wins it — 7.37

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.37 for the rest of it.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A hand in 3 of them from Emir Sahiti — 7.92

Marked 7.92. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Match12 Sep 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match12 Sep 2026

Maccabi Tel Aviv find a way past Beitar Jerusalem

Beitar Jerusalem made Maccabi Tel Aviv work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Maccabi Tel Aviv

Ester Sokler was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Hélio Varela

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Itamar Noy falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Emir Sahiti finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Maccabi Tel Aviv have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The division's best last weekend was a Maccabi Tel Aviv man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Emir Sahiti was the best thing in any of them.
