The view from the top for Maccabi Tel Aviv
24 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.
Player ratings23 Nov 2026
Both of them Kristijan Belić's — 8.33
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.33, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Match21 Nov 2026
10 unbeaten for Maccabi Tel Aviv
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Maccabi Tel Aviv did not have in the autumn.

A falling-out at Maccabi Tel Aviv
Osher Davida and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

One of their own: Elad Madmon
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The manager makes an example of Osher Davida
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Issouf Sissokho told to find a new club
“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Issouf Sissokho has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Ester Sokler 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.
