Anatoliy Nuriyev asks to leave Levski
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Hevertton keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Levski may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Maicon 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 Levski this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Maicon 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.

Radoslav Kirilov the difference as Levski beat Montana
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Radoslav Kirilov. 1‑0 against Montana, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Maicon was immovable
19 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

The afternoon belonged to Radoslav Kirilov
A mark of 7.78, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Nothing got past Serginho
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 16 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
